EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Botticelli's masterpiece, "Virgin and Child with an Angel" painted between 1475-85. The tempera on panel painting measures 85.8x59.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, USA, as part of the Max and Leola Epstein Collection. In this exquisite interior scene, a gentle landscape unfolds behind the ledge where the Virgin Mary tenderly embraces her infant son, Jesus Christ. Both figures are veiled and adorned with halos that illuminate their divine presence. The delicate foreshortening technique skillfully captures the angel's outstretched arm as it offers a chalice to baby Jesus. Botticelli's mastery of chiaroscuro lends depth to this Renaissance artwork, emphasizing subtle contrasts between light and shadow. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate folds of Mary's mantle to the carefully placed pot on the ledge. The demure expression on both Mary and Jesus' faces evokes a sense of serenity and tranquility that transcends time. This three-quarter-length portrait exudes gracefulness and beauty while capturing a profound moment between mother and child. "Virgin and Child with an Angel" exemplifies Botticelli's artistic brilliance during the early Renaissance period. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, inviting us into a world where divinity meets humanity through artistry at its finest.
