This painting, titled "The Madonna of Humility adored by Leonello d'Este," is a tempera on poplar wood panel by the Venetian artist Jacopo Bellini, dating back to 1450. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary seated on the ground with the Christ child standing on her lap, a common motif referred to as "The Madonna of Humility." The subject matter is traditionally viewed as a symbol of the humility of Christ and Mary, further reinforced by the setting of the image - a simple, unassuming landscape. The artwork is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
