On the right hand side there is a window open on a landscape which, with its sunset light, illuminates the interior. However, the light which pervades the Mother and the Child does not seem to have a natural origin. Rather, it appears to emanate from the two sacred figures themselves, turning the simple and domestic environment of the room into a mystical scene.<br \/>\nAlso the fruits on the left are charged with a symbolical meaning: the cherries allude to Christ&#8217;s blood, the plums to the tenderness of the Mother and the Child, while figs symbolize Jesus&#8217; Salvation or Resurrection.Although they probably were added elements which Botticelli did not originally paint, the three nails in the Child&#8217;s hand and the crown of thorns on His arm also explicitly illustrate the meaning of the painting, namely the allusion to Christ&#8217;s death and resurrection.<br \/>\nThis painting of\u00a0 about 1480, also known as the\u00a0<em>Madonna of the Book<\/em>, is part of the mature artistic production of Sandro Botticelli, but it is still reflecting the influence of Filippo Lippi, who first taught Botticelli and was author of refined sacred images.<br \/>\nThis work contains all the elements that characterise this period of Botticelli&#8217;s art: the delicate and elegant lines, alongside the calm and refinement of the composition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mother and the Child are reading a book, which due to its decorations has been identified as the &#8220;Book of Hours&#8221;, a book of prayers for laymen that was widely popular between the Thirteenth and Sixteenth centuries.
