The artwork, named “Copy drawing of Madonna by the Fountain,” is a piece created by Jan van Eyck in 1439. This artwork belongs to the Northern Renaissance movement and is categorized under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork presents a finely articulated depiction of the Madonna standing near a fountain. The composition includes two angels, one on either side of the Madonna, holding a protective canopy above her. The Madonna is illustrated holding the Christ child tenderly in her arms, with a gentle and serene expression. The setting is open, with detailed floral elements and a distinct, ornate fountain to the left of the central figures. The detailed line work and textural elements highlight van Eyck’s meticulous attention to detail and mastery in draughtsmanship, reflecting the hallmark qualities of the Northern Renaissance.
