Description: | Signed: yes Description: At the time he painted this panel, Mariotto Albertinelli was working with Fra Bartolommeo on the famous frescoes at the Dominican convent of S. Marco in Florence. This panel, signed by him alone, shows that he continued to work independently, drawing on his success as a painter of large scale religious works. Such paintings were very popular at the time as domestic decoration. As well as providing an example of exemplary behaviour for mothers and children, the subject also reminded people about Christ's sacrifice for humanity: the goldfinch is a symbol of His impending death. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child St John the Baptist); still life (flowers); animal (goldfinch); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Albertinelli, Mariotto (Italian painter, 1474-1515) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8688... | Go to resource |
