Description: | The motif of the Christ Child resting on a cushion used in this painting is derived from a painting by Giovanni Bellini. The depiction of the Virgin's headdress may also be from this source. The general style of the work tends toward the naïve. Despite a certain rigidity, however, there is much sensitivity in the figures' gazes. It has been tentatively suggested that the work was painted by a follower of Girolamo of Santacroce, who was himself a follower of Gentile and Giovanni Bellini. The painting is thought to date from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century. | Subjects: | religion (Holy Family); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Northern Italian) School Æ Attributed to circle of Santacroce, Girolamo da (Italian painter, born 1480-1485, died 1556) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8504... | Go to resource |
