The Madonna and Child with an Angel is a painting executed c. 1465–1467 by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. It is housed in Spedale degli Innocenti of Florence.
A majority of Botticelli's works date to the 1480s.[1] This painting, one of Botticelli's earliest, reveals Botticelli's close artistic relationship with his teacher, Filippo Lippi, and is modelled on the latter's The Virgin and Child with Two Angels.[2] With the realistic depiction of his live infant models, Botticelli's Madonna may be the earliest known depiction of the neurological Babinski reflex.[3] Botticelli is also known for his contributions to the Sistine Chapel.[4]
