Description: | This is the right-hand panel of the triptych Madonna and Child with Saint Christopher and Saint Anthony. Saint Anthony turns to the left to face the Virgin and Child. He holds a staff in his right hand, while in his left hand is an open book. As with the other panels of the triptych, Herri Met de Bles placed the figures before a landscape. The inclusion of a landscape 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, his work was also highly regarded in Italy. | Subjects: | religion (St Anthony the Great); 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=8366... | Go to resource |
