Madonna of the Rose Bower, 15th century religious painting at Dominican Convent, Colmar, France.
The Madonna of the Rose Bower measures 200 centimeters in height and displays Mary with the Christ child surrounded by red roses and goldfinches.
Martin Schongauer completed this tempera panel painting in 1473, incorporating elements from Netherlandish masters such as Rogier van der Weyden and Stefan Lochner.
The red cloak, roses, and goldfinches in the composition represent symbolic references to Christ's future sacrifice and the Virgin Mary's role.
The painting resides in the choir section of the former Dominican Church, where visitors can view it during regular opening hours.
In 1972, thieves stole this masterpiece from St Martin's Church, but authorities recovered it in June 1973, leading to its transfer to the Dominican Convent.
