Virgin and Child with an Angel

"Virgin and Child with an Angel" is an unfinished panel oil oil painting by Parmigianino, created around 1527–1528. This religious painting depicts the Madonna holding the infant Jesus with an accompanying angel, showcasing Parmigianino's characteristic Mannerist (late renaissance) style. The elongated figures and graceful poses exemplify the artist's unique approach to religious subjects, blending spiritual tenderness with sophisticated artistic techniques typical of that period. Currently housed in the Courtauld Gallery in London, the work remains notable for its unfinished composition and elegant execution.
