Maria met kind

Date: c. 1530 - c. 1540
Medium: panel, oil paint (paint)
Culture: Bruges
Institution: Rijksmuseum

The marble niche in which the Virgin and the Child are seated is a veritable sample-book of the modern Renaissance style. Pilasters and balusters, semi-circular alcoves, rams’ heads, cornucopias and scrolled acanthus leaves are typical of the new style, which was based on the architecture of Classical antiquity.
