Pier Francesco Fiorentino's "Madonna and Child" (c. 1475) depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. This Italian Renaissance painting is a classic example of the Madonna and Child theme, showcasing the tenderness and devotion between mother and son. The use of gold leaf in the halos and the intricate details of the Virgin Mary's clothing and jewelry are characteristic of Fiorentino's style, reflecting the artistic trends of the period.
