The Madonna

Raphael’s The Madonna surrounded by holly leaves. A classic image of Christmas that would make a great notecard or greeting card cover.

This image is copyright free and in the public domain anywhere that extends copyrights 70 years after death or at least 120 years after publication when the original illustrator is unknown.
