Oct 14, 2023 · Madonna and the Child captures a trademark power of Artemisia’s painting with her grotesque richness in color and a skeptical consideration to detail. The vibrant turquoise of the woman’s pink dress and the perfect great use of a background shadow create a sense of naturalism and realism.
The Bridgewater Madonna represents Raphael’s most complex approach to the subject of the Virgin and Child before his move to Rome in 1508. Although he had previously depicted Christ lying across his mother’s lap, he had never before given the pose so much movement nor invested the scene with so much drama.
The Madonna and Child are shown in a contemporary Florentine palace. Through the window is an arcade with the armorial device of the wealthy Florentine banker Filippo Strozzi (three crescents). The background evokes the area around the Strozzi villa near Florence.
