"St Luke Drawing the Portrait of the Madonna" is a renowned painting created around 1450 by the Early Netherlandish painter Rogier van der Weyden. This work exemplifies the intricate detail and profound religious sentiment characteristic of van der Weyden's oeuvre. The painting depicts Saint Luke, the patron saint of artists, in the act of drawing the Virgin Mary as she tenderly holds the Christ Child. This theme was particularly significant during the 15th century, reflecting the belief that Saint Luke was the first to create an image of the Madonna, thus linking the divine to the practice of art.

Rogier van der Weyden's composition is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, rich coloration, and the use of oil paint, which allows for a greater depth of color and realism. The figures are rendered with a lifelike precision that was innovative for its time, showcasing van der Weyden's mastery in capturing human emotion and divine grace. The setting of the painting is equally detailed, with an elaborate interior that includes a view of a landscape through a window, a common feature in Netherlandish art that adds a sense of depth and context.

The painting is also significant for its iconographic elements. Saint Luke is often depicted with an ox, his traditional symbol, which can be seen in the background of the painting. The presence of the ox, along with the detailed rendering of the Virgin and Child, underscores the sacred nature of the scene and the divine inspiration attributed to artistic creation.

"St Luke Drawing the Portrait of the Madonna" is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration. The painting not only reflects Rogier van der Weyden's technical skill but also his deep engagement with religious themes and the role of the artist in mediating the divine. This work remains a pivotal example of Early Netherlandish painting and a testament to the enduring legacy of Rogier van der Weyden.
