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 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.
