# Madonna and Child [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GOZZOLI, Benozzo]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Fresco, 250 x 135 cm ## Commentary A fragment of the Madonna and Child can be seen on the right church wall. The Mother of God is sitting on a cushion in a stone throne niche. She is reverently gazing at the child at her lap, while folding her hands in prayer. The surviving right half of the picture is completed by an angel making music in front of background architecture. In this composition, Benozzo combined two depictions of the Madonna: the Adoration of the Child and the Enthroned Madonna. The artist's signature appears on the throne's pilaster: BENOZII FLORETIA, Benozzo of Florence. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Angels Worshipping \(left side of the chancel, detail\)]() - [Angels Worshipping \(left side of the chancel, detail\)]() - [Angels Worshipping \(left side of the chancel, detail\)]() - [Angels Worshipping \(left side of the chancel\)]() - [Angels Worshipping \(left side of the chancel\)]() - [Angels Worshipping \(right side of the chancel\)]() - [Arrival of St Augustine in Milan \(scene 8, north wall\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Baptism of St Augustine \(scene 11, east wall\)]() - [Birth of Mary]() - [Blessing of the Faithful at Hippo \(scene 14, north wall\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
