1450 1504 Berruguete Pedro Virgin Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on wood painting, titled "Virgin and Child," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish artist Pedro Berruguete (1450-1504). Berruguete was a prominent figure in the Spanish Renaissance, known for his innovative techniques and profound religious themes. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus in a tender embrace, their eyes locked in a loving gaze. The intricate details of their faces and robes reveal Berruguete's exceptional skill as a painter. The Virgin's expression is serene and compassionate, while the Child's features are full of innocence and curiosity. The background of the painting is a lush, green landscape, with rolling hills and a clear, blue sky. The natural beauty of the scene serves as a reminder of the divine connection between nature and the divine. Berruguete's use of oil on wood as a medium allowed him to create a rich, textured surface that adds depth and dimension to the painting. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its representation of the Catholic faith during the late 15th century in Spain. The Virgin and Child were popular subjects for religious art during this time, and Berruguete's interpretation is a testament to the artistic and spiritual traditions of the period. This painting is currently housed in the Asia Department of the Aisa, Fogg Museum at Harvard University. It is an important addition to the museum's collection of European art and a reminder of the enduring influence of Spanish art on the global art world.
