OIL PAINTING: Virgin and Child, 1620-1624
Virgin and Child- an intimate, homely scene which forges an emotional link between maternal love and piety, dates from c. 1624 and is typical of Rubens' work around this time, in the balance and clarity of the composition, the sculptural proportions of the figures and the somewhat cool use of colour.
