Daniele Crespi's "Madonna and Child" is an oil painting on panel that exemplifies the Baroque religious art of seventeenth century Milan. The work demonstrates Crespi's characteristic tender intimacy between mother and child, rendered with warm tonality and soft modeling of form that reflects the influence of Correggio and Caravaggio. The painting's devotional focus and refined execution made it a significant example of Counter Reformation art in Lombardy.
