BOTTICELLI, Sandro: Virgin and Child with Two Angels

🖼 Virgin and Child with Two Angels, c. 1490
Tempera on poplar panel, diameter 115 cm

Soft gold halos frame the Virgin's contemplative face as she cradles the Christ Child, flanked by two attending angels in delicate Renaissance composition. Botticelli's tender intimacy and luminous palette epitomize 15th-century Florentine spirituality, blending devotional reverence with humanistic grace.
