This fine art counted cross stitch pattern, entitled Madonna with Child and Two Angels, designed from a painting by Anton Raphael Mengs, shows the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by two serene angels who look on with deep adoration. The artist emphasizes the divine tenderness of the Nativity and the balanced, harmonious beauty characteristic of the Neoclassical style. The colors used are a masterful blend of soft rose and peachy flesh tones set against the deep, regal indigo of Mary's mantle, all emerging from a rich, dark background that focuses the viewer’s eye on the holy subjects. This pattern is for lovers of sacred art and epitomizes a quiet sanctuary in the middle of a holy night. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
