Divine Infant Infant Jesus Latin Script Latin Text Life Of Christ Madonna And Child Netherlandish School Virgin And Child

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodcut print, titled "The Madonna and Child," dates back to the 15th century and is an exemplary representation of the Netherlandish School of art. The image portrays the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus in her arms, a common theme in Christian art depicting the life of Christ. The Madonna is shown with an expression of tender love and devotion, gazing down at her son. The divine infant Jesus, with his chubby cheeks and curly hair, reaches out towards his mother, creating an intimate and heartwarming scene. The background of the print is adorned with a multi-coloured floral design, featuring flowers in shades of blue, red, green, yellow, orange, and lavender, interspersed with gold accents. The intricate floral pattern adds a sense of beauty and elegance to the image, reflecting the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The border of the print is illustrated with various scenes of men and women, possibly representing different aspects of daily life during the 15th century. The Latin text surrounding the image, written in elegant script, adds to the overall artistic and religious significance of the piece. This beautiful and intricately designed woodcut print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 15th century, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Christian iconography on art and culture. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this precious work of art in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the masterful craftsmanship and timeless beauty of this Unknown masterpiece.
