    position: relative;
}

div img {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    margin-top: -24px; /* half of total height of image */

background:url(image.png) no-repeat center center;
height:500px;
width:500px;

position:absolute;
   top:50%;

Answer 5

The solution you've got works for old browsers but in the near future (right now has like the 70% of the browser support) you can do this, a much simpler and elegant solution:

.container img{
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}
@supports(object-fit: cover){
    .container img{
      height: 100%;
      object-fit: cover;
      object-position: center center;
    }
}
