Description: | This is the central panel of the triptych Madonna and Child with Saint Christopher and Saint Anthony. The Virgin and Child are enthroned in a garden before a landscape with a lake framed by mountains. This subject allowed the artist to develop his interest in nature and the garden. The representation of flowers continued a tradition from the previous century, seen in the works of northern and southern artists including Jan van Eyck, Hugo van der Goes, Pisanello and Botticelli. Herri Met de Bles was one of the earliest landscape painters in the Netherlands, his work was highly regarded in Italy. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child); landscape; figure | 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 |
