"Virgin and Child with an Angel," also known as "Madonna del Latte," is a celebrated Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio. This exquisite artwork, dating from around 1520, is renowned for its tender representation of the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus, a subject known in art history as the Nursing Madonna or Madonna Lactans. The inclusion of an angel, often interpreted as a cherub, adds a divine presence that underscores the sanctity of the mother and child.

Correggio, known for his mastery of light and shadow as well as his soft, sensuous approach to form, has imbued this painting with a sense of intimacy and warmth that was characteristic of his mature work. The composition is noted for its gentle modeling of figures and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. This technique would later influence Baroque artists and contribute to the development of tenebrism.

The "Madonna del Latte" is a prime example of Correggio's ability to blend the natural with the divine, creating an image that is both accessible and otherworldly. The Virgin's gaze, directed tenderly toward the Christ Child, along with the serene expressions and the soft, diffuse lighting, all contribute to the painting's devotional quality.

While the exact provenance of the painting is not fully documented, it is believed to have been commissioned for private devotion, a common practice among the wealthy patrons of the period. The work is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular at the time due to its versatility and durability compared to the traditional fresco technique.

Today, "Virgin and Child with an Angel" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of the masterpieces of the High Renaissance. It remains an important work for the study of Correggio's oeuvre and the broader context of religious art in the 16th century. The painting can be found in a prominent art institution, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and its historical significance.
