Description: | This is a good quality painting with interesting still life details. Its large size suggests that John Bowes' catalogue, listing the picture as formerly belonging to a church in France, was probably correct. Even though it was produced around the time of the Baroque, this painting is very restrained in its decoration, recalling earlier Dutch examples which also presented Madonnas with Child in an interior setting. The artists did not try to dazzle the viewer, but on the contrary wanted to induce a state of respect and piety before this holy image. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin and Child) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8997... | Go to resource |
