The Madonna and Child or The Virgin and
Child is often the name of a work of art
which shows the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. The word Madonna means
"My Lady" in Italian. Artworks of the Christ Child and his mother
Mary are part of the Roman Catholic tradition in many parts of the world
including Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, South America and the Philippines.
Paintings known as icons are also an important tradition of the Orthodox Church
and often show the Mary and the Christ Child. They are found particularly in
Eastern Europe, Russia, Egypt, the Middle East and India. More Madonna

This is a 19th Century copy after Luini's composition in the Capodimonte, Naples.
Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82 – June
1532) was a North
Italian painter from Leonardo's circle. Both Luini and Giovanni Antonio
Boltraffio were said to have worked with Leonardo directly; he was described to
have taken "as much from Leonardo as his native roots enabled him to
comprehend".[1] Consequently, many of his works were attributed to
Leonardo. He was known especially for his graceful female figures with
elongated eyes, called Luinesque by Vladimir Nabokov. More on Bernardino Luini
