"Virgin and Child" is a notable work by Martin Schongauer, a German engraver and painter who was active during the late 15th century. Schongauer, born around 1445 and deceased in 1491, was renowned for his delicate and intricate engravings which had a significant influence on the Northern Renaissance art. Although he produced a relatively small number of paintings, his engravings were widely distributed and highly regarded for their technical skill and artistic beauty.

The "Virgin and Child" by Schongauer is an exemplar of his mastery in capturing the tenderness and sacred intimacy between the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. This work is often characterized by its fine detail, graceful lines, and the serene expressions on the faces of the figures. Schongauer's portrayal of the Virgin Mary reflects the idealized beauty and piety that were common in the religious art of the period, while also showcasing his ability to convey a sense of naturalism and emotional depth.

The exact date of creation for this particular piece is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the latter part of Schongauer's career. The medium of the work, whether it is an engraving or a painting, can vary as Schongauer produced multiple works with the theme of the Virgin and Child. His engravings were typically done on copper plates, which allowed for fine lines and detail, while his paintings were less numerous and often executed with an attention to color and texture that complemented his line work.

"Virgin and Child" by Martin Schongauer holds a significant place in the history of art not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its influence on subsequent artists. Among those influenced by Schongauer was the young Albrecht Dürer, who would go on to become one of the most prominent artists of the Renaissance. The work exemplifies the transition from the Gothic style to the emerging Renaissance sensibilities, bridging the gap between medieval iconography and the more humanistic approach to religious subjects that would define the art of the following centuries.

In the context of Schongauer's oeuvre, "Virgin and Child" represents the synthesis of his technical prowess and his deep understanding of religious iconography, making it a masterpiece of late medieval art. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of printmaking and painting in Europe.
