The Virgin in a Church
Artist: Jan van Eyck
 1438-40    Painting

 See Details

Light floods the interior of a magnificent Gothic cathedral where a spectacular vision of the Virgin and Child holds court. This panel is probably the left wing of a dismantled, and once stolen, diptych.  Here the Madonna is depicted as the Queen of Heaven, wearing a regal jewel-studded crown, dressed in royal finery, a red dress symbolic of Christ's future sacrifice covered with a dark blue robe edged with golden embroidery. She cradles the Christ child, who acts simply as a child in the arms of his mother. 

this work is oil on Oak Panel  and is housed in the Gemaldegallerie, Berlin, Germany.
