Madonna and Child 1510

Sandro Botticelli's "Madonna and Child," painted in 1510, showcases the artist's signature style, blending Early Renaissance and Late Gothic elements. The piece, now housed in the El Paso Museum of Art, depicts a tender moment between Mary and the infant Jesus, their figures enveloped in soft, flowing drapery and set against a luminous, architecturally detailed backdrop. Botticelli's characteristic elongated forms and delicate lines create a sense of grace and spirituality, inviting viewers to contemplate the divine love shared by mother and child.
