# Madonna and Child \(Madonna della Loggia\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BOTTICELLI, Sandro]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Tempera on panel, 72 x 50 cm ## Commentary Madonna and Child \(Madonna della Loggia\) c. 1467 Tempera on panel, 72 x 50 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence The theme of the Madonna and Child embracing, which was extremely widespread in the sculpture and painting of the Quattrocento, is derived from a Byzantine pictorial type. What is new here is the motif of the loggia, which still makes a rather flat impression behind the figures, although the even fall of the light is attempting to integrate it properly into the scene. In this and a series of similar paintings, the young artist was trying out the repertoire of motifs associated with the theme of the Madonna and Child. ## Related artworks - [A Young Man Being Introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts]() - [Adoration of the Child]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Allegory of Abundance]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
