The “Madonna Adoring the Child” by Correggio 1520-1526. I love the intimacy of that moment when Mary adores her child alone w/o family, angels, or other divinity subjects. This beautiful “moment” is all about Mary, which depicts the humanity of all mother/child birth experiences. The painting is a perfect example of “a picture is worth a thousand words”…the aura, the adoration, and the unconditional love that all moms experience. Priceless!!
