Description: | This is the left-hand panel of the triptych Madonna and Child with Saint Christopher and Saint Anthony. The infant Christ is carried on the shoulders of Saint Christopher over a river. The gaunt figure of Saint Christopher, draped in a red cloak, takes up the entire long, rectangular panel. While the mountainous landscape setting was a typical feature of this subject, it also allowed the artist to demonstrate his ability to paint scenes from nature. Herri Met de Bles was one of the earliest landscape painters in the Netherlands, and his work was also highly regarded in Italy. | Subjects: | St Christopher); landscape; figure religion (Christ | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bles, Herri met de (Flemish painter, born ca. 1510, died after 1550) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to Bles, Herri met de (Flemish painter, born ca. 1510, died after 1550) Attributed to Netherlandish (Bruges) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8365... | Go to resource |
