Here is a fine fresco from Correggio. He seemed to have the knack for facial expressions and rendered the subject at some exquisite moment in time. In this case, the combination of the Madonna's demure and the child's possessive, knowing look combines to engage us in the delight of the mother and baby. It reminds us of the strength and gentility of such golden moments, and how they are worth trying to remember and respect. That is why we love this painting.
