# Virgin and Child [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LIBERALE da Verona]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Oil on panel, 79 x 54 cm ## Commentary This panel depicts the Virgin and Child before a green curtain with an open book. It probably dates to around 1490, contrasting with the artist's early depictions of the Virgin and Child carried out during his time spent in Siena between 1467-76, which employ gold grounds with stamped and incised haloes. This picture reflects the influences on Liberale's work, in the last decades of the fifteenth century, of the schools of Ferrara and Venice, where he is documented as living and working in 1487 before returning to Verona. ## Related artworks - [Altar of San Vincenzo Ferrer]() - [Madonna del Cardellino]() - [Page of a choirbook]() - [St Sebastian \(detail\)]() - [St Sebastian]() - [The Abduction of Helen of Troy]() - [Virgin and Child]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
