About the piece
Dating from the early 17th century, this evocative oil painting captures the 'Virgin of Tenderness' theme, known in iconography as the Eleusa. The composition emphasizes the physical and emotional closeness between mother and child, rendered with rich pigments and soft chiaroscuro characteristic of the European Old Master tradition.
