ZoomMadonna and Child with Seraphim and Cherubim
Andrea Mantegna · ca. 1454
The Butler Madonna or Madonna and Child with Cherubim and Seraphim is a tempera on panel painting measuring 44.1 by 28.6 cm. It is attributed to Andrea Mantegna, dated to around 1460. Its poor conservation, including over-harsh restoration to Mary's face, means that some art historians cannot accept it as an autograph work and theorise that it was produced by a follower of Mantegna after an autograph original. Its provenance is unknown before 1891, when it appeared for sale at a London art dealer. It was purchased by Charles Butler, from whom it passed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1926, where it still hangs.
