Renaissance Madonna. High: 18cm

Renaissance Madonna. High: 18cm

 

This sculpture recreates one of the most beautiful Italian Renaissance paintings by Filippo Lippi.

Rarely has so much delicacy and luminosity been concentrated in a single work. Her face is filled with the lyricism of music. One can sense that she is a beautiful woman both inside and out, and her headdress accompanies the goodness of her body and the beauty of her soul. She has a look as transparent and reflective as the cloth that falls from the back of her head and continues down her right shoulder.

It is a work full of nostalgia and life, of reverie and beauty.

Between hope and fear. Canvas of Alma-Tadema.

The painting "Between hope and fear" by Alma-Tadema   Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema born in Netherlands in 1836 and died in 1912. Sir Alma-Tadema was a Dutch Neoclassical painter of the Victorian era formed in Belgium and established in England since 1870. He is known for its sumptuous paintings inspired in the ancient world. A painter of classical subject, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky. Though admired during his lifetime for his citizenship and his depictions of Classical antiquity, his work fell into disrepute after his death, and only since the 1960s it has been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century English art.   Here you can get the canvases of Alma-Tadema.
