This fresco fragment is traditionally thought to come from the church at Magrè, near Schio, Vicenza. This information is recorded in an inscription on the frame which appears to have been made for the painting when it belonged to Layard & may reflect some evidence which is now no longer extant (or known). The attribution to Montagna has not been confirmed. ...
The Virgin rests a hand on the parapet in the foreground. The view seen through the window is unlikely to be of a specific place. The painting, although much damaged, is important because it is a rare signed work. Alvise was the youngest member of a family of painters. ...
The artist's composition of the Virgin seated on the ground reflects the tradition of the Madonna of Humility. The rocky setting is similar to those which Leonardo favoured for his paintings. A pricked drawing, apparently for the head of the Virgin, is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. ...
