EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Carlo Crivelli's "Madonna and Child" from around 1480. The tempera and gold on wood painting, measuring 37.8x25.4 cm, is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In this religious masterpiece, Crivelli skillfully incorporates symbolic elements to convey profound meaning. The apples and fly represent sin and evil, reminding viewers of humanity's fallibility. Conversely, the cucumber and goldfinch symbolize redemption, offering hope for salvation. The composition features a serene landscape backdrop with angels adoringly surrounding the Madonna and Child. This depiction draws inspiration from biblical narratives found in the Gospels of the New Testament. Carlo Crivelli's work exemplifies Italian Renaissance artistry at its finest. His attention to detail is evident through delicate brushwork and intricate use of gold accents that enhance the divine aura surrounding Mary and Jesus Christ. As you gaze upon this print, immerse yourself in its rich symbolism that speaks volumes about Christian beliefs during this era. Let it transport you back to a time when religious devotion was fervent, inspiring awe-inspiring works like this one.
