Madonna and Child in a Niche, c. 1520s. Creator: Antonio del Ceraiolo (Italian), attributed to
Madonna and Child in a Niche, c. 1520s. This image of Madonna with the Christ Child on her lap has been extensively altered by restoration. During the Renaissance, it was important that the Christ Childs genitalia be exposed, for it declared that Christ is the humanization of God, that he experienced temptation, and that in his exposure, he was without shame. When it was repainted, a cloth was added to the image to cover the Christ Childs genitalia. In 1941 the removal of old overpaint returned the painting more closely to its original state
