MADONNA AND CHILD
by Sandro Botticelli
ca. 1490
Florence, Museo Stibbert

Few images in the history of Western art possess the emotional and symbolic density of the Madonna and Child. In the work of Sandro Botticelli, this iconography becomes far more than a devotional subject: it emerges as the privileged space in which spiritual longing, human tenderness, poetic melancholy, and ideal beauty converge.
