Description

Tuscan School, c. 1470–1480, circle of Pseudo Pier Francesco Fiorentino The Virgin and Child surrounded by six angels Oil and tempera on panel (with horizontal and vertical battens) and gold highlights Antique panel (cropped) 52 x 44 cm Presented in a 19th-century Neo-Gothic frame Frame: 100 x 57 cm This elegant composition reflects the Florentine tradition of the second half of the 15th century, as seen in the gentleness of the Virgin and Child, the symmetrical arrangement of the six angels, positioned on either side of the central group, and the refined use of gold highlights. The delicate modelling of the faces, the silhouettes with their supple contours, and the palette of blues, reds and golds bring this work close to the style of Pseudo Pier Francesco Fiorentino, who was active in Tuscany in the wake of Benozzo Gozzoli and the circle of Fra Angelico. This panel thus reflects the refined taste of Tuscan painters for Marian images intended for private devotion. Expert: Mégane OLLIVIER
