Madonna Overcome

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows six individuals standing in a landscape with green hills and a blue sky. The central figure, a woman with a sad expression, is supported by others. She wears a blue robe over a brown dress and has a halo above her head. The woman to her right comforts her, also with a halo. Three men on the left wear earthy tone robes, each with a halo. One man stands with clasped hands. The individual on the right has a white headdress partly covering their face, with a caring expression.
