# Virgin and Child \(La Virgen del Sombrero\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MORALES, Luis de]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on panel, gold leaf, 34 x 25 cm ## Commentary This panel is an example of the artist's representation of La Virgen del Sombrero, or La Virgen de la Gitana, an iconography associated with the circular gipsy hat worn by the Virgin, signaling her humble origins. The compositional type recalls the works of Raphael and the sfumato modelling reveals the enduring influence of the work of Leonardo and his followers on Morales's work. ## Related artworks - [Christ Carrying the Cross]() - [Ecce Homo]() - [Madonna with the Child]() - [Madonna with the Child]() - [Mater Dolorosa]() - [Pietà]() - [Pietà]() - [St Stephen]() - [Virgin and Child with a Spindle]() - [Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist]() - [Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
