"The Madonna and Child with a Goldfinch" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Ludovico Brea, created in the late 15th or early 16th century. This devotional painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, who is playfully interacting with a goldfinch, a symbol often associated with the Passion of Christ due to the bird's legend of having acquired its red spot when it drew a thorn from Christ's brow during the Crucifixion, and its blood was stained by Christ's blood.

Ludovico Brea, active mainly in Liguria, particularly in and around Nice, which was then part of the Duchy of Savoy, was known for his detailed and pious representations of religious subjects. His style is characterized by its vivid color palette, attention to detail, and the serene expressions of his figures, which reflect the influence of both Northern European and Italian Renaissance artistic traditions.

The composition of "The Madonna and Child with a Goldfinch" is typical of Marian iconography of the period, with the Virgin often portrayed as a tender and attentive mother, a theme that resonated with the contemporary emphasis on the human aspects of religious figures. The inclusion of the goldfinch, beyond its symbolic meaning, also serves to create a sense of domestic intimacy and to highlight the innocence and playfulness of the Christ Child.

While the exact dimensions and current location of the painting are not specified here, works such as this were commonly intended for private devotion or for altarpieces in chapels and churches. Brea's "The Madonna and Child with a Goldfinch" is an important example of the Ligurian school of painting and contributes to our understanding of the regional variations of Renaissance art in Italy.
