Description: | This intimate representation of the Virgin and Child, framed by a fictive window with a landscape background beyond, was probably made for the purpose of private devotion. It would have been displayed in a private home rather than a church. The inscription, which implores the Mother of God to 'remember me', is a personal prayer on the part of the first owner of the painting, asking for the Virgin's intercession. It is unknown who painted this panel, although it is close in style to the work of the important Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Weyden, Rogier van der (Flemish painter, ca. 1399-1464) Æ School of Previously attributed to Master of the Legend of Saint Ursula (Flemish painter, active ca. 1470-1490) Previously attributed to Master of the Saint Ursula Legend (German painter, active ca. 1485-ca. 1515) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8480... | Go to resource |
