Madonna with Child 1475

Giovanni Bellini's "Madonna with Child" (c. 1475) is a revered example of the Venetian Renaissance style. The painting, housed in the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, Italy, depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child. The tender and intimate portrayal of the mother and son is characteristic of Bellini's work, demonstrating his mastery of light and color. The soft, ethereal glow emanating from the figures against a backdrop of clouds creates a sense of spiritual serenity and grace.
