Botticelli Madonna and Child

A small devotional 'Madonna and Child' panel from the workshop of Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510), painted in the 1480s–1490s. These half-length compositions — the Virgin bending toward a sweetly awkward infant Christ against a gold-tooled halo and soft Florentine colour — were repeated many times in Botticelli's workshop for private patrician chapels. The version at the Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina, acquired in the late 19th century, is classified today as a fine workshop production and serves as a textbook example of the idealised Botticellian Madonna type that diffused through Florentine domestic devotion.
