About This Work
The Madonna is seated and wearing a red gown with a blue mantle, holding the infant Jesus as he reaches around her neck. Both figures have thin, golden wire halos, and a small church is visible in the background landscape.
This work exemplifies the High Renaissance Neoplatonic synthesis of physical beauty and divine grace, where the harmony of the composition reflects the order of the cosmos.
