EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Virgin of Victory or The Madonna and Child Enthroned with Six Saints and Adored" by Gian-Francesco II Gonzaga. Painted in 1495, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 285x168 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this exquisite artwork, we are presented with a sacra conversazione scene featuring the Virgin Mary seated on a magnificent throne alongside the infant Jesus. Surrounding them are six saints: Michael, Andrew, Longinus, George, Anne or Elizabeth, and the infant John the Baptist. Each saint exudes a sense of reverence as they pay homage to the divine mother and child. Commissioned by Gian Francesco II Gonzaga for the chapel of Santa Maria della Victoria in Mantua, this painting commemorates the Battle of Fournour that took place in 1495. It beautifully captures both religious devotion and military triumph through its inclusion of battle imagery such as armor. Notably present amidst this sacred gathering is a sulphur crested cockatoo—an Indonesian bird—symbolizing exoticism and wealth during that era. Additionally, vibrant green and red parakeets add splashes of color to an enclosed garden adorned with coral, crystal pearls, trellises (known as tonnelles), lories (a type of parrot), charmilles (hedge tunnels), all within an arbour setting. With its meticulous attention to detail and harmonious composition
