Nursing Madonna is an early 16th-century painting by the Netherlandish artist Jan Provoost. It is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 268.[2]
The painting was bought from the Paris art dealer Édouard Warneck in 1893, as a work by a follower of
Provoost's Nursing Madonna presents compositional and typological similarities with Simon Marmion's earlier Madonna and Child, now in the National Gallery of Victoria, which had itself been inspired by the depiction of Mary and Baby Jesus in Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin, a hugely influential painting by Van der Weyden. The Strasbourg painting was in turn much repeated and copied by Provoost, his studio, and his followers (at least eleven posterior versions are known).[1]
