EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century painting, "Virgin and Child with Saints and Donor," by Carlo Crivelli, showcases the revered figures of the Virgin Mary and Child, surrounded by Saints Francis and Bernadino of Siena. The Madonna, depicted as the Queen of Heaven, wears a magnificent crown and an elegant dress, symbolizing her regal status. The Child Jesus, with a serene expression, embraces his mother, signifying the deep bond of love and affection between them. To the left of the Madonna and Child stands Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan Order, dressed in the traditional brown habit. On the right, Saint Bernadino of Siena, another prominent Franciscan figure, holds his attribute, a plaque inscribed with Christ's initials surrounded by the rays of the sun. The donor, an elderly man, humbly approaches the sacred scene, with his hand on his chest or heart, expressing his deep devotion and reverence. The painting's rich colors and intricate details, including the use of gold leaf, demonstrate the artistic mastery of Carlo Crivelli during the 1490s. The clothing and apparel of the figures, with their vibrant hues and intricate patterns, reflect the fashion trends of the time. This precious work of art, a testament to the deep-rooted Christian heritage and values of Italy, continues to captivate viewers and inspire awe and wonder.
