MASSYS, Quentin: Virgin with the Child

🖼 Virgin with the Child, -
Oil on panel, diameter 22,5 cm

Tender brushwork renders the Virgin gazing downward while the Christ Child reaches outward, set against a luminous landscape background. This intimate domestic scene exemplifies Northern Renaissance devotion, blending Flemish precision with Italian compositional harmony to create accessible spiritual narrative.
