Description
The Virgin and Child
The Virgin, seated in a niche that fills the picture surface and is lavishly decorated with Renaissance motifs, is supporting the almost nude Christ Child on her right arm. He has wrapped his left arm around her neck and is cupping her chin with his right hand as he presses his face up against hers. The poses and interaction of the Virgin and Child are a late reflection of the so-called Madonna of Cambrai, a Byzantine type known as the Elousa, or Virgin of Tenderness, which was regarded as a work by St Luke himself in the second half of the 15th century
