The Madonna of the Book, also known as the Madonna del Libro, is a small painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, circa 1483. It is housed in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli of Milan.
I simply love this artist and will have a very hard time presenting only one of his works this upcoming school year. CHC's Liturgical Masterpieces has Madonna with the Child (Madonna with the Book) scheduled to be studied in January.
This print is beside my dresser in my bedroom.
Virgin and Child with Four Angels and Six Saints
(San Barnabas altarpiece). c.1487.
"A Virgin became the Mother of God, in order to reconcile man with God, to give peace to the world, triumph to Heaven, salvation to mankind, and life to the dead." St. Augustine
