What child is this
With cape and "S"
Whom Martha now is raising?
With strength so great, and manner sweet
And all around amazing

This, this is the Boy of Steel
Krypton’s last hope, our Earth to heal
Up, up,
and away he flies!
Kal-El, the son of two worlds.

Banksy’s New Artwork: A Modern Madonna and Child

Banksy is back with a new artwork, this time showing a modern version of the Madonna and Child.

The painting is on a worn-out metal surface. It shows a calm Madonna, her eyes looking down, and her face framed by a soft, hooded veil. In her arms is a baby looking up, as if searching for comfort or connection.

Like always, Banksy mixes old and new styles. The artwork feels classic, but the rusty hole in the wall adds a rough, urban touch. The hole is right on the Madonna’s chest—it makes you wonder. Is it showing weakness? A wound? Or maybe it’s about how things in our world are falling apart?

Banksy’s work always gets people thinking. What does this piece make you feel?

Welcome, wonderful world.

TENDER ATTENTION

Mother’s head is
lightly inclined;
baby’s body is
safe and special,
sound and secure,
encircled, enfolded,
enwrapped, embraced:
welcome wonderful world.
