The Madonna and Child with an Angel is a painting executed c. 1465–1467 by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli.
The position of Mary and Child is also framed by a church-like arch supported by Composite order pillars.
The babe is being handed to its mother by an angel, in the figure of a young boy, wearing white and red, whose wings are barely in scene.
Botticelli showcases a non-historic image of the Madonna and Child, instead drawing his inspiration from the Renaissance ideals of beauty.
There are parallels in Botticelli's work in which he continuously depicts Mary and Jesus with blonde, wavy hair and fair skin so as to elevate the image of both figures in creating a sort of devotional perfection.
