Description: | The Virgin in a wimple and turquoise blue cloak is shown to the waist, her right hand supporting Christ's bleeding head, which tilts back from his naked shoulders. The face of the dead Christ appears distorted as it would be in a modern painting. Indeed, Luis de Morales is the most typical Spanish Mannerist painter, combining and digesting influences from Italian, as well as from Flemish-Italianate painters of his time. He was called El Divino, The Divine, for the profound religious character of his painting. Without reaching his psychological penetration, he preceded El Greco as the exponent of extreme Mannerism in Spain. | Subjects: | Pietà) figure; religion (Mary supporting the Body of Christ | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Morales, Luis de (Spanish painter, ca. 1509 - ca. 1586) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8763... | Go to resource |
