Virgin and Child with Four Angels is a small oil painting on panel by the Early Netherlandish artist Gerard David, probably completed around 1510 to 1515. It shows the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, while two angels crown her as Queen of Heaven and two others play musical instruments at her sides. Set in a walled garden before a view of Bruges, the work was created for private devotion. It was influenced by Jan van Eyck's Virgin and Child at a Fountain, but presents Mary and Jesus in a more human manner rather than as remote iconic deities. The work has been in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since 1977.Painting credit: Gerard David
