About the piece

Created around 1600 by the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder, this panel painting features the Virgin Mary in a bold red gown and blue mantle. She cradles the Christ Child, who gazes forward while holding a bunch of grapes—a traditional symbolic reference. The composition is accented by an angel pulling back a dark curtain, showcasing the characteristic refined lines and porcelain skin tones typical of the Northern Renaissance style.
