EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print, dating back to the 1460s, depicts the Virgin and Child in a serene and intimate setting. The Mother and Child are positioned in a small, ornate room adorned with gothic windows and a coffered ceiling. A decorative floral garland frames the space behind the figures, adding a celebratory atmosphere. The Virgin Mary is dressed in a rich, bright blue cloak, lined with luxurious green velvet, and clasped together with a brooch adorned with precious gemstones and pearls. The Christ Child, seated on an embroidered cushion on his mother's knee, holds a tiny swallow in his hand. The swallow is a common symbol of Christ's death and resurrection. The Child offers a gesture of blessing, looking directly at someone in the viewer's space, inviting them into this sacred moment. Mary, deep in contemplation, focuses on her son, while Jesus seems to look beyond her, engaging with the viewer. The intricately detailed architectural elements, such as the gothic windows and coffered ceiling, add to the sense of depth and realism. The use of naturalistic colors and the attention to clothing and apparel further enhance the overall effect. This print, reminiscent of the Florentine and Italian Renaissance, showcases the beauty and richness of 15th century art and the enduring appeal of the Madonna and Child motif in Christian art and iconography.
