“Madonna” is a piece from my body of work in which I display the parallels of high renaissance biblical art with modern day culture and society . The piece is Referenced from the 16th century masterpiece “Madonna Terranuova” by Raphael . The piece reflects Madonna at the center carrying a child (infant Jesus) with two angels at the side watching over the central figures.
