An Antique Renaissance style Italian fresco of the Virgin & child after the Master of the Gold Brocade.
An iconic image of mother and child painted in oil onto a thick terracotta panel. The infant Jesus cradles his mothers breast in the intimate scene.
Deep layers of red make up the background, bordered with a gilt edge which have naturally come away over hundreds of years. The sharp details, still vivid, give the impression that this was a treasured work.
