"Madonna and Child" by Giovanni Bellini in the High Art Museum

The “Madonna and Child” in the High Art Museum in Atlanta, GA, was painted late in Bellini’s career when he had already mastered the medium of oil paint. It depicts the Virgin and Christ Child asymmetrically arranged in front of a green cloth of honor and dead landscape – symbolizing both divinity and death. Buona visione!
