About Artwork: (Perhaps about 1520) "The Virgin Mary sits on a carved throne beneath a red brocade canopy. A length of cloth of gold brocade suspended from ropes forms a cloth of honour behind her. The infant Christ sits on a white cloth held by his mother and looks in our direction. Two little angels playing musical instruments perch at the back of the throne. The Franciscan cardinal bishop on the left is Saint Bonaventure. He holds an unusual emblem – a thorny Crucifix with a pelican in her nest on top. The pelican symbolises the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, as the bird was believed to feed her chicks with her own blood if necessary. On the right, Saint Francis gazes at us and directs our attention to the Virgin and Child. Each saint introduces an unidentified male donor to the Virgin and Child. The presence of the Franciscan saints suggests that the altarpiece was commissioned for a church owned by the Franciscan Order, to which the two donors were especially dedicated." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
