Madonna del Latte


Madonna del Latte
by Bramantino
c. 1490
Oil and tempera on wood, 46 x 35 cm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston


Mary nurses baby Jesus from just under her collar bone in an exciting landscape. Bramantino takes extra care with Jesus's swaddling clothes. Is it just me, or did Herve Ledger totally plagiarize this outfit in his spring line?
