Sandro Botticelli Biography

51 reactions | Look at the stars. ⭐️ The Virgin and Child (The Madonna of the Book) Sandro Botticelli 1480 Known also as the Madonna of the Book, this painting represents the Virgin and Child in a domestic setting, intent on reading a volume, perhaps a Book of Hours. A window is open on the landscape at twilight, but the diffused light which transforms the space into a mystical setting seems to emanate from the figures themselves. | Museo Poldi Pezzoli | Facebook
