Description
Pietro Lorenzetti (in the style of) – Madonna and Child, tempera on panel, 47 x 26.5 cm The panel depicts the Virgin in half-length, holding the Child, who is turned towards her in an intense exchange of glances. The composition, set against a gold background and embellished with large, ornate haloes, draws on models from the great Sienese tradition associated with Pietro Lorenzetti.The reference to the master is particularly evident in the pronounced tilt of the Virgin’s face, the elongated and almost sculptural rendering of her features, the affectionate yet still solemn relationship between mother and child, and the pursuit of greater naturalism within an iconic structure that remains fully devotional.The Child, cradled in his mother’s arms, actively participates in the scene through his gesture towards the Virgin’s veil, a device that emphasises the intimacy of the relationship between the two figures. The contrast between the dark cloak, the golden robe and the Child’s red cloth also contributes to the chromatic richness of the whole.The refined decoration of the haloes and the linear character of the composition confirm the influence of Sienese models of Lorenzetti’s lineage, reinterpreted in a more simplified and devotional style.
