Facts and practical information

The Cambrai Madonna, produced around 1340, is a small Italo-Byzantine, possibly Sienese, replica of an Eleusa icon. The work on which it is based is believed to have originated in Tuscany c. 1300, and influenced a wide number of paintings from the following century as well as Florentine sculptures from the 1440–1450s. This version was in turn widely copied across Italy and northern Europe during the 14th and 15th centuries; Filippo Lippi's 1447 Enthroned Madonna and Child is a well known example. ()
