In the quiet of the rooms of Palazzo Abatellis, Sicily’s Regional Art Gallery, Palermo there are many paintings and sculptures depicting the sacred beauty of the Madonna and Child including: the 16th century Adoration of the Magi (no.1) from the School of Anversa; Antonello Gagini's radiant sculptures; and, the lovely Madonna and Child by the 15th century Maestro del Trittico di Alcamo (the triptych master of Alcamo) ( no.5).
As Christmas nears, I want to share a few of these from snapshots I took in late September this year.
