Description: | Raphael's Madonnas have been so much admired and treasured since his lifetime, that countless copies have been made in all kinds of media and to a complete range of standards. This imitation of Raphael's celebrated Madonna of the Pinks (about 1506-7; National Gallery, London) is probably the work of a Flemish painter working in the seventeenth century. It has been painted with great delicacy and precision, using techniques often seen in miniatures of the period. It differs from the original in a number of details, such as the colours of the dress, but most notably in the inclusion of the Flight into Egypt (the Madonna and Child on a donkey, with Joseph leading them to safety) glimpsed through the window against a ruined landscape. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child; Flight into Egypt) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Raphael (Italian painter and draftsman, 1483-1520) Æ After Previously attributed to Calvaert, Denys (Flemish painter, ca. 1540-1619, active in Italy) Previously attributed to Flemish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8658... | Go to resource |
