Virgin and Child with Four Angels

Virgin and Child with Four Angels is an exquisite oil-on-wood panel painting by Gerard David, a prominent figure of the Northern renaissance. Created between 1510 and 1515, this delicate religious painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, crowned Queen of Heaven by two angels above. Flanked by two angels providing music, the scene is rendered with fine detail and lush colors characteristic of late Flemish art. The work exemplifies the detailed precision and vibrant coloration typical of David and the broader artistic trends of the Northern renaissance period.
