Madonna with Child
1503, Artist: Albrecht Dürer
Madonna with Child
Since the 15th century, beginning with Italian painting, the depiction of the close relation between mother and child has been the main theme of the Madonna picture. From around 1500, Dürer created numerous representations of the Virgin Mary in drawings, graphics and painting which show both strong emotions and his sheer pleasure at reproducing studies of expression.
