"Madonna with the Child" (also known as the "Greek Madonna") is a renowned Renaissance painting created by the Italian master Giovanni Bellini between 1460 and 1464. This artwork is a quintessential example of Bellini's early work and reflects the transition from the Gothic style to the Renaissance style that was occurring in Venetian art during this period. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, a common subject in Christian art known as a Madonna and Child.

Bellini's "Greek Madonna" is notable for its serene beauty and the tender interaction between Mary and Jesus, which would become hallmarks of Bellini's approach to religious subjects. The title "Greek Madonna" may derive from the Byzantine influences evident in the painting, as Venetian art was strongly affected by the city's trade connections with the Byzantine Empire. These influences can be seen in the icon-like stillness and the gold background, which was typical of Byzantine religious works.

The painting is executed in tempera on wood and measures approximately 82 cm x 62 cm. It is characterized by its refined use of color and light, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and gives the scene a soft, atmospheric quality. Bellini's skillful use of chiaroscuro and his attention to detail in the drapery of Mary's robes and the landscape in the background are indicative of the emerging Renaissance techniques that would come to define the period.

"Madonna with the Child" is held in high esteem for its devotional impact and its influence on the development of Venetian painting. It is considered an important work in Bellini's oeuvre and in the broader context of Italian Renaissance art. The painting is currently housed in the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
