About Artwork: (1505) "This painting of the Virgin and Child enthroned was once the central element of a large multi-panelled altarpiece made for the oratory of S. Pietro in Vincoli, Faenza. In it, heaven and earth mingle. The Virgin is depicted as Queen of Heaven, although she has no crown: behind her is a green silk cloth of honour, such as was hung behind medieval and Renaissance royalty. The front edge of the cloth hangs down over the lintel of an elegant but implausible stone structure with a doorway at its centre. On either side of the doorway, oval reliefs show the presentation of the Virgin in the Temple and the marriage of the Virgin; through it, we can see an imaginary landscape. A fascination with complex stepped architecture had long been a feature of Ferrarese painting, and Costa in 1497 had devised a similar, though even more elaborate, architectural structure for the Ghedini chapel (S. Giovanni in Monte, Bologna)." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
