Madonna with Angels Playing Music and Donor


Madonna with Angels Playing Music and Donor
by an Unknown Spanish Master
1439
Tempera on wood
Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid

You will definitely need to click on this to get a good look at the detail. This artist clearly is sucking up to the donor (lower left) by giving the baby Jesus his hairstyle.

Don't miss the expression of the angel holding a lute to the right of Jesus. He seems pretty disgusted by the whole male pattern balding thing.
