The Virgin and Child

The Virgin and Child

Artist: Giovanni Bellini (Italian, About 1435 - 1516)

Original Dimensions: 31" x 23"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (Probably 1480-1500) "During the 1470s and 1480s Bellini produced a series of small-scale images of the Virgin and Child, destined for the homes of his Venetian patrons who used them as aids to private prayer. The naked Christ lies on a marble parapet, probably intended to recall his dead body in the tomb – a reminder that, according to Christians, in adulthood he redeemed humanity through his death. This detail transforms the picture from a tender image of a mother and child to a religious one. The painting is covered with an old varnish, probably dating from the nineteenth century, which has now discoloured, giving the whole picture a brown tone. Photomicrographs (very highly magnified images) show Bellini’s fingerprints in the Virgin’s cheek and Christ’s fingers – where he blotted areas of paint by hand, a technique he used in several other works." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
