Description: | The Virgin, seated on clouds, is crowned by an angel (possibly as Regina angelorum': Queen of Angels). The painter has combined the traditional iconography of the Virgin and Child in Heaven with elements of the Last Judgement: cherubim at the feet of the Virgin, and an angel in the lower right, point to a man and woman standing in the flames of purgatory in the lower left. They reach towards the Child who, seated on the Virgin's lap, looks at them. The painting has been tentatively attributed to the Neapolitan painter Francesco de Mura. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mura, Francesco de (Italian painter, 1696-1782) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8559... | Go to resource |
