Madonna della Melagrana – Botticelli – 525 Pieces – Round Puzzle

The Madonna of the Pomegranate was painted in circa 1487 with tempera on a wood panel by Sandro Botticelli. The Virgin Mary and baby Jesus are surrounded symmetrically by angels on each side. Botticelli’s use of tempera grassa give the characters a real look, better known as a “naturalistic” style, which is common during the Renaissance. The Virgin Mary is holding baby Jesus gently in her arms while holding a pomegranate in her left hand. The painting is currently on display at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
