EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vittorio Crivelli's masterpiece, "Madonna and Child with Two Angels". Painted in the late 15th century, this tempera and gold on wood artwork is a true representation of Italian Renaissance art. The painting measures 55.6x40.6 cm and is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The central focus of the composition is the Madonna, tenderly cradling baby Jesus in her arms. Surrounding them are two angelic figures adorned with delicate wings and halos, symbolizing their divine presence. The artist skillfully incorporates various biblical symbols throughout the piece; a book representing the gospels lies open before Mary, signifying her role as the mother of Christ. Intriguingly, a goldfinch perches on baby Jesus' hand while holding onto his mother's dress. This bird carries symbolic weight as it represents both Christ's future crucifixion (as it was believed to feed on thorns) and resurrection (due to its vibrant plumage). Crivelli further enhances his composition by adding fruits such as cherries and pears that allude to fertility and abundance. A carnation flower held by one of the angels signifies love while an apple symbolizes original sin. Through meticulous attention to detail and rich symbolism, Crivelli creates a profound religious narrative that resonates even today. This exquisite print allows us to appreciate not only his technical mastery but also his ability to convey spiritual themes
