Early Netherlandish School, circa 1500
Virgin and Child in a landscape,
oil on panel, 102 x 73 cm, framed
Provenance:
with Urban & Pierigal, Munich (1986);
Private collection, South Germany
The present panel, with a serene Virgin, encompassed by meticulously modelled drapery, clutching the Christ Child in a dramatically craggy landscape, is characteristic of the refinements of Early Netherlandish painting at the turn of the 16th Century. The identity of the hand that painted this work yet alludes scholars, but based on the quality of the handling of the Virgin’s robe, with its folds articulated by careful use of light and shade, it may be the work of a specialist in the workshop of the Master of Frankfurt, although the faces of the figures preclude the touch of the master himself. The overall scheme, with either a bisecting tree, as here, or in others a canopy or throne, placed on a raised foreground giving a repoussoir effect, with the verdant greens, greys of the architecture and blue of the mountains fading into the sky beyond is typical of the master’s compositions, working in the nascent Antwerp Mannerist tradition.
