About the piece

Attributed to Spanish Baroque painter Alonso Miguel de Tovar, this 1740 work depicts the Madonna and Child with a soft, glowing light that emerges from a deep, atmospheric background. The tender expression and masterful handling of drapery reflect the influence of Murillo, creating a sense of quiet devotion and classical elegance that elevates any space.
