description: <p>Hans Baldung Grien was a German painter and printmaker who studied under Albrecht Dürer before distinguishing himself as one of the great artists of the Northern Renaissance. Baldung's striking <em>Madonna and Child</em> would have served as an aid to private prayer. The picture presents the Virgin Mary as both human mother and Queen of Heaven. She radiates an otherworldly spirituality, conveyed by her meditative gaze and the cool blue light of her halo. Note the artist's virtuoso depictions of her transparent veil and the translucent angel. This <em>Madonna and Child</em> is a replica of one of Baldung's early works, identical except that the Madonna wears an elaborate crown.</p>
