Madonna with the Rosary

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, 1485

This is a painting of a central religious figure surrounded by various biblical scenes and ornate decorations. The central figure is seated in a detailed environment filled with other religious figures, all adorned with symbolic attire. The surrounding elements depict different biblical narratives in circular frames, accentuated by floral motifs and heraldic elements. Below is a block of historical text with the date '1485'. The style is indicative of late medieval religious art and resembles that of an anonymous medieval manuscript illustrator.
