Description: The painting is a tempera and gold leaf on panel by the Italian artist Cimabue, created around 1300. It is a highly stylized work, with the figures arranged in a symmetrical composition. The Virgin Mary is shown enthroned in the center, with the Christ Child on her lap. Two angels flank the Virgin and Child, with their wings spread out in adoration.
