Madonna and Child

Description

Madonna and Child by Titian centers on the tender exchange between Mary and the infant resting in her arms. Her lowered face and the child’s upward gaze create an intimate bond, framed by deep red clothing, a bright blue mantle and a green hanging.

A distant landscape opens beyond the tree at the right, bringing cool air and depth into the close grouping. Madonna and Child combines this spacious setting with the warmth of touch, making a familiar sacred subject feel personal and immediate.
