Artifact Spotlight

Madonna and Child with Cherubs

Sassoferrato, a Roman Baroque painter, depicts Mary tenderly cradling the sleeping Christ amid cherubs and soft clouds, creating a warm, comforting scene. The gold background and gentle colors highlight their celestial status, while Sassoferrato's attention to detail in drapery showcases his Baroque mastery.
