Madonna and Child
by ALESSO DI BENOZZO, Tempera on panel, 34 x 25 cm
The painting depicts the Madonna and Child before a cloth-of-honour held aloft by two angels. The composition can be associated with Benozzo Gozzoli’s Mystic Marriage of St Catherine, which also shows the Christ Child blessing seated on his mother’s lap, before a cloth-of-honour held aloft by two angels.
