Madonna del Magnificat (1481)

by Sandro Botticelli

painted Tempera 118 x 119 cm, Uffici Museum, Florence, Italy

The work shows Virgin Mary crowned by two angels. She is writing the opening of the Magnificat  on the right-hand page of a book; on the left page is part of the Benedictus. In her left hand she holds a pomegranate, a symbol for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Therefore this is a perfect picture for today's Easter sunday!
