The Virgin and Child on Bronze is an egg tempera painting by Greek painter Elias Moskos.

It is difficult to characterize the work of some painters belonging to the late Cretan School.

The technical migration from the maniera Greca of Cretan-Venetian painting to the more refined Ionian-Venetian style is visible in the works of Elias Moskos and Theodoros Poulakis.

The painter used the traditional heavenly garment typical of Greek-Italian Byzantine painting.

The flesh tones and features of both the Virgin and Child exhibit a shadowing technique.

The typical gold gilded background is replaced by dark cloudy variations of grey.

The different tones and brush strokes relay the appearance of a dark cloudy day.
