The work of art is a painting titled “The Madonna and Child.” It is a painting of Mary and Jesus Christ. The painting is done in oil on wood and is approximately 14 inches tall by 13 inches wide. It was painted by a famous artist named Sandro Botticelli (1444 – 1510). The work of art is very detailed, but not too detailed that it takes away from the main subject matter. For example, there are many people in the background, but they are not detailed enough to take away from the main subjects’ faces. Also, there are other things like trees and animals that can be seen in the background but they are not too detailed either because they are not as important as the main subjects’ faces.
