About Virgin and Child with an Angel
"Virgin and Child with an Angel", also known as "Our Lady of the Eucharist", is a tempera painting by Sandro Botticelli made c.1470, showing the Virgin Mary in a three quarter view, with the Baby Jesus held on her lap and a smiling angel, wearing a crown of myrtle by her side. It is now held by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. The angel offers them a bowl containing twelve ears of wheat and grapes. The child raises a hand in benediction. Grapes and wheat produce the wine and bread of the Eucharist, and allude to the blood and body of Christ’s sacrifice. The Virgin carefully selects some of the wheat, to signify that she accepts her child’s fate.About the Posters
