Madonna and Child is a late 1480s painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York^[1]^[2]

Unusually, the Madonna holds the viewer's attention with her gaze. The backdrop curtain is pulled slightly open to reveal a distant landscape showing a transition from barren hills to a verdant townscape, a metaphor for resurrection.
