About this work
Agnolo Gaddi was one of the leading painters in late 14th-century Florence. He worked in the direct tradition of Giotto, the founder of Florentine painting. This panel shows the Virgin seated humbly on a richly decorated cushion while nursing the Christ Child. This scene is typical of the devotional art of this period.
