Description: | This splendid, unvarnished tondo (circular painting) in tempera is a painting of high quality from the Florentine or Tuscan Renaissance. The tenderness with which the Virgin is gently holding the Child, who is turning to St John, and the profound, almost melancholy seriousness of the angels makes this a contemplative religious painting typical of its time. The softness of the execution of the faces of the Virgin and the angels, as well as the almost tangible lightness of the veils clearly indicate the hand of a technically highly capable master, while other parts, with their mechanical hatchings, are much weaker. | Subjects: | St John) figure; religion (Virgin and Child | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lippi, Filippino (Italian painter, ca.1457-1504) Æ Attributed to studio of Attributed to Lippi, Filippino (Italian painter, ca.1457-1504) and studio Attributed to Raffaellino del Garbo (Italian painter, ca. 1466-1524) Previously attributed to school of Botticelli, Sandro (Italian painter and draftsman, born 1444 or 1445, died 1510) Previously attributed to Botticelli, Sandro (Italian painter and draftsman, born 1444 or 1445, died 1510) Previously attributed to Lippi, Filippino (Italian painter, ca.1457-1504) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8825... | Go to resource |
