What does Virgin and Christ Child represent?
While the Virgin was largely painted alone in the Roman times, she became associated with the Child Jesus, in a gesture of prayer or reverence to God. In the Middle Ages, the Madonna was most commonly painted enthroned, with Jesus on her lap, an iconography known as sedes sapientiae (throne of wisdom).
