Picture of the day

The Madonna of the Book is a small painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli that was executed in tempera on panel between 1480 and 1483. It depicts Mary and the Christ Child seated by a window, with Mary absorbed in a book of hours (prayer book for laymen) and the Child gazing at his mother. The work is held at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan.Painting: Sandro Botticelli
