Description: | This depiction of the Virgin in prayer closely follows the style of Sassoferrato. The Virgin stands illuminated before a dark background. She is shown three-quarter length, elegantly turning her body to her right as she bows her head down, her hands raised in prayer. The soft lighting and figural composition combine to make an effective image. It was for such images of the Virgin that Sassoferrato became famous, influencing contemporary artists to make versions after his work such as this one. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sassoferrato (Italian painter, 1609-1685) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8909... | Go to resource |
