Early Italian Renaissance Art Essay
The artistic theme in which an artist depicts the Virgin Mary with Jesus Christ as a child is known as the 'Madonna and Child'. This depiction
has its roots in Early Christian art due to the iconic roles that Christ and Mary play in the Christian religion (Dunkerton 37). The 'Madonna and
Child' has had a place in many of the early periods and traditions of art. Religious themes were able to command such a strong presence in the

surface for painting and this was also a common feature of the time (Dunkerton 152). In general, the piece exhibits features that were common
during the renaissance, but also possesses many medieval or gothic characteristics. For example, the depiction of Mary as unnaturally large in
