Venice. XVI century. Madonna with child with St. John. Attrib. Marco Bello.

About the Item

Sacred Conversation: Madonna with child with St. John with idealized landscape background with mountains. Early XVI century. Oil on wooden panel of Venetian conifers. Marco Bello, attributed. (Venezia, 1470 - 1523, Udine), pupil and follower of Giovanni Bellini. Venetian school. Madonna with child with St. John with idealized landscape background with mountains. Dimentions: 57cm x 68cm x 6cm Beautiful late Renaissance frame with flowers and vegetal scrolls made in carved, gilt and polychrome wood. Horizontal composition with Saints on the first plan was elaborated by Venetian artist after Giovanni Bellini. St John holds a flag with a ribbon on which is written in Latin: "Ecce agnus ..", abbreviation of "Ecce Agnus dei" (this is the lamb of God). The composition rather represents a sacred conversation, where the characters are represented out of real time: Christ and Saint John are represented of very different ages, while the gospel tells us about age differences of a few months. So we are faced with an idealized and "metaphysical" vision, with the colors of the cold range that create an effect of abstraction. The painting certainly belongs to a precise area / artistic school: Veneto, mature Renaissance. But with a more provincial influence, which borders on the group of so-called "Venetian Madonnari". This group of paintings had a double characteristic: contact with refined Venetian painting and contacts with Greek painters, who brought Byzantine icon’s influences. Conditions: profetionally cleaned and restored, with few paint repaints in lower part ( St. John’s hand)

  • Moses Strikes the Water from the Rock. XVII cent. Dutch school.
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Moses Strikes Water from the Rock Dutch school, XVII century. Workshop of Jacob de Wet (Haarlem, 1610-1675). Technique: Oil on oak wood panel, composed of 3 horizontal panels. In this evocative work, Moses stands in a cave, gathering the Israelites. There was no water to drink or for their cattle. The people were discontented in the desert. But Moses and Aaron listened to the voice of God. With Aaron’s staff, Moses struck the rock, and water gushed forth abundantly, quenching their thirst. Jacob de Wet’s workshop specializes in subjects from the Old and New Testaments. The recognizable rectangular format, simple compositions, and clear narratives define his style. The interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of Rembrandt, adds timeless allure. The characters’ costumes, with their large hats and turbans...
