The painting "Madonna and Child with Eight Angels", also known as "Raczyński Tondo", by the Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) is a tondo (a round painting) representing the Virgin Mary and Baby accompanied by eight angels. There are four angels on each side of the Madonna, all of them looking like beautiful teen boys with long curly hair. The ones on the right are singing in choir, looking in a small black book. Behind the angels there are white lilies, symbols of purity. Virgin Mary has blonde hair and looks in front of her. Baby Jesus, in her arms, tries to open her blouse to breastfeed. The painting has a golden frame decorated with pine cones. The painting is in the public domain.
