# The Virgin Mary and Child [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ROMANESQUE PAINTER, French]() - Date: 1151-1200 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The apse vault of the Chapelle Sainte-Cathérine in the church of Notre-Dame in Montmorillon, near Poitiers, is taken up by a representation of the enthroned Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. Although the subject is typically Byzantine, the style is not. It is softer and more animated and imparts to the divine couple a graceful appearance. ## Related artworks - [Angel]() - [Angels]() - [Christ in Majesty \(detail\)]() - [Christ in Majesty]() - [Christ in Majesty]() - [Christ on the White Horse]() - [Crusaders]() - [Fall of Man]() - [Fresco cycle]() - [Fresco cycle]() - [Interior view of the narthex]() - [Interior view of the nave]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
