The artwork, titled “Madonna with Child,” was created by Filippo Brunelleschi around the year 1410 in Italy. This piece is a representation of the Early Renaissance art movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
The artwork depicts a tender scene with the Madonna holding the Child in her arms. The figures are rendered with a gentle realism and an emotional connection, characteristic of the Early Renaissance focus on humanism and naturalism. The Madonna is draped in flowing garments, with intricate folds and textures, illustrating Brunelleschi’s attention to detail and mastery in sculpting. The expressions on both the Madonna and the Child’s faces convey a serene and intimate moment between mother and child, reflecting the piety and human emotion that are hallmarks of the period’s artistic endeavors.
