story of the work:

The "Madonna and Child" attributed to the Master of the Linsky Madonna, a late Gothic painter active in the early 15th century, exemplifies the stylistic characteristics of Central European art during this period, particularly in its use of vibrant colors and intricate detailing. This work, housed in the National Gallery in Prague, reflects the devotional practices of the time and has significantly influenced the understanding of Marian iconography in Northern Renaissance art.

Description of the work:

The "Madonna and Child" by the Master of the Linsky Madonna is characterized by its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, rendered with a soft, ethereal quality that emphasizes their divine connection. The composition features a rich color palette, with deep reds and blues, and intricate detailing in the drapery, highlighting the artist's skill in conveying texture and form.
