# Madonna and Child in Glory [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CORREGGIO]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on wood, 20 x 16 cm ## Commentary Madonna and Child in Glory c. 1510 Oil on wood, 20 x 16 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence Sorrow and glory are indistinguishable in this intimate work. Even the cloud-angels are solemn. The music-making angel on the right seems to play to the Child to sweeten the present, and distract him from his awareness of the future. The colours, too, are deep but muted. Correggio's figures occupy more three-dimensional space than those of many of his contemporaries' works. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Vices]() - [Allegory of Virtues]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Camera di San Paolo]() - [Camera di San Paolo]() - [Ceiling decoration \(detail\)]() - [Ceiling decoration \(partial view\)]() - [Ceiling decoration]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
