The artwork, titled “Virgin and Child,” was created by the artist Rogier van der Weyden and belongs to the Northern Renaissance art movement. It is a religious painting that depicts a sacred theme.
In the artwork, the Virgin Mary is portrayed holding the infant Jesus, encapsulating a serene and tender maternal moment. The figures are situated under an elaborate archway adorned with detailed carvings and a background that shows an open landscape. The Virgin Mary is depicted with a calm and gentle expression, her head slightly bowed towards the Christ Child, who is grasping at her dress. The fine details in the depiction of their garments and the architectural elements exhibit the characteristic precision and attention to detail typical of the Northern Renaissance period.
