Artist: Martin Schongauer
Artwork: The Virgin and Child in a Garden
Description: This painting is a beautiful and serene depiction of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child. The Virgin is shown seated in a garden, with a red cloak draped over her lap. She is holding the Christ child in her arms, and he is reaching out to touch a flower. The painting is full of symbolism, with the flowers representing the Virgin’s purity and the Christ child’s divinity. The garden is a symbol of the Garden of Eden, and the fence in the background represents the separation between the earthly and the heavenly realms.
