He wraps one arm tenderly about her neck as she holds him gently around his waist in a very natural pose. In his other hand he holds an apple, a symbol of the Fall of humankind that he will redeem by his Crucifixion. The little green book held by the Virgin is probably the Old Testament, which foretells Christ’s future sacrifice – she is marking her page with her thumb. The young Virgin’s foreknowledge of Christ’s destiny adds deep poignancy to the look exchanged between mother and son.\n\nThe painting has sometimes been accepted as an original work by Luini, but it was probably made by his workshop or may even be an early copy.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/workshop-of-bernardino-luini-the-virgin-and-child\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Virgin and Child\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Workshop of Bernardino Luini","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50510040367347,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (19 1\/4\" x 17 1\/4\")","offer_id":50510040400115,"sku":null,"price":614.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (18 7\/8\" x 16 7\/8\")","offer_id":50510040432883,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (23 1\/8\" x 20 3\/4\")","offer_id":50510040465651,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (28 3\/8\" x 25 3\/8\")","offer_id":50510040498419,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (36 5\/8\" x 32 7\/8\")","offer_id":50510040531187,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (43 7\/8\" x 39 1\/4\")","offer_id":50510040563955,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (51 3\/4\" x 46 1\/2\")","offer_id":50510040596723,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (62 1\/8\" x 55 5\/8\")","offer_id":50510040629491,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheVirginandChild2.jpg?v=1788412514","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-virgin-and-child-ngal1773","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
