An image of devotion and maternal strength, this Madonna and Child by Bartolomeo Montagna radiates calm and clarity. The Virgin’s gaze is steady, her form sculptural, while the child leans inward with soft trust. Set against a rocky, distant landscape, the scene blends Renaissance order with spiritual stillness. It speaks to sympathy, reflection, and enduring maternal love.
