| 'Madonna and Child' (c.1742) by Pompeo Batoni; Galleria Borghese, Rome |
I love paintings portraying Madonna and child and luckily there are so many of them. Most of the time Madonna is beautiful and the child is quite ugly. But in this painting by the Italian artist Pompeo Batoni, born on 25 January 1708 and died on 4 February 1787, the son doesn't look too bad. This painting looks very much like the one that my elder sister has a reproduction of and that I have always liked a lot.
