The "Madonna and Child" is a painting finished around 1504 by the Italian High Renaissance painter Raphael. It is housed in the Norton Simon Museum of Art in Pasadena, California.
The Madonna is holding the Christ Child with great tenderness. The two are also linked as they read the book of hours that is open at the prayer of Nones, the ninth hour after dawn in the Church's day. The hour of the Annunciation, when the Virgin conceived her son, the ninth hour was also the hour of His death on the Cross. Pausing from their reading, they look at each other thoughtfully, calmly meditating on the events to come.
