This painting was the central panel of a triptych in S. Maria della Scala, Verona. The dead dragon at the feet of the Virgin & the olive branch held by the Christ Child may refer to the ending of the 1516 siege of Verona. The commission of this work was ...
The Christ Child reaches across to his grandmother Saint Anne who has an open book in her lap. Saint Anne appears also to be offering him a fruit, which may be a symbol of his future sacrifice. On the right is a village scene, behind an open vista typical of Bruges landscape painting of the early 16th century. The subject of the Virgin & Child with Saint Anne was popular in both Netherlandish painting & sculpture. ...
Saints Sebastian & Paul are shown on the left; Saints Lawrence & Benedict (?) are included on the right. On the capital in the centre is a sculpture showing the Sacrifice of Isaac. This picture & its lunette showing the ' Pietà', formed the altarpiece in the Chapel of Saint Anne in S. Frediano, Lucca. The chapel was completed in 1511. It is clear from the signature on the picture that the altarpiece was finished or almost finished before Francia's death. ...
This is an early work, from about 1510. It reveals the influence of Leonardo's ' Virgin of the Rocks' in its solemn but smiling faces & its dark setting. Another version is in the Fogg Art Museum (Cambridge, Mass.). The different flowers in the foreground ...

This painting prabably dates from around 1620, & one other signed version is known to exist. The work exemplifies the vein of robust realism that Jordaens, in the wake of Rubens & Van Dyck, brought to the interpretation of religious subject matter. The ...
The Virgin is crowned by angels & thus the emphasis is on her role as the Queen of Heaven. Some parts of this tondo are of higher quality in execution than others & may reflect the participation of several members of the workshop. It has been suggeste ...
This is an early work by Filippino Lippi. The Christ Child holds a pomegranate, a symbol of the Passion. The young Saint John the Baptist wears a camel skin tunic & holds a reed cross. The book on the parapet is inscribed with imitations of letters which do not actually form an inscription. ...
The painting long carried a false signature of Perugino's on the hem of the Virgin's robe. The work is in fact probably by a close associate & imitator of Perugino. The painting was originally round-topped & it is now displayed with a recreated addition at the top. The Virgin's robe is painted in ultramarine, the most expensive & intense blue pigment & one often reserved for the Virgin's drapery. ...
