# Madonna and Child [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DOSSI, Dosso]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary Dosso Dossi, the great Ferrarese master, belongs to a different world of mysterious and courtly fairy tales set in fantastic wild landscapes, with the addition of elements derived from northern European painting. Dossi's small Madonna and Child illustrates the perfect relationship between figures and nature: the golden rays from the halos are echoed in the leaves of the trees and the same shades of blue and green which modulate the Madonna's mantle are to be found in the different elements of the landscape. ## Related artworks - [Aeneas and Achates on the Libyan Coast]() - [Allegory of Music]() - [Anger or the Tussle]() - [Apollo]() - [Bacchus]() - [Circe and her Lovers in a Landscape]() - [Circe \(detail\)]() - [Circe \(or Melissa\)]() - [Diana and Calisto]() - [Francesco Maria della Rovere Leading His Troups]() - [Interior view]() - [Jupiter and Semele]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
