Bartolomeo Vivarini “Virgin Enthroned with the Blessing Child” at the Colonna Gallery in Rome

Virgin Enthroned
Bartolomeo Vivarini (1430-1490) “Virgin Enthroned with the Blessing Child”
Tempera on wood (198 x 41 cm) 1471Vivarini painted the infant Jesus blessing, dressed in a green tunic, the colour of resurrection.
The Virgin Mary's face expresses tenderness mixed with melancholy for her child, who is comfortably seated on cushions.
She is seated on a relatively modest throne, but the richness of her clothing can be seen in the delicate, silky folds of her light-coloured dress.
A painting with great presence.
