"An excellent Flemish Renaissance painter who lived in Italy where he was able to appreciate the art of his contemporary Italian painters. He was a great admirer of Raphael, to whom he often he is inspired, as for example in this painting, although he essentially remains an atheist within his own canons and stylistic developments. He has made an important contribution to the great Renaissance art in Flanders. his time: Charles V, Francis I King of France, Henry VIII of England, Cosimo I dei Medici. The influence of the Italian Renaissance ways is evident in this work. He initiates the passage and transition from the late Gothic conception in the Netherlands to that of the Renaissance. The writings and treatises of Sebastiano Serlio were an example to him. This simple painting, probably for a private commission, is in some way inspired by the Madonn a del Connestabile by Raphael. In fact, the representation of the Madonna and child is rendered in a real and fluid way, giving naturalness to the scene. He abolishes the landscape background and focuses the figuration on the two characters thus giving more strength to the spiritual meaning. A sad and melancholy harmony transpires and is palpable, at the same time a serenity transmitted by the characters, especially in the gaze of Mary, who reads the prophecy on the death of Jesus, with sweet resignation while the child orders her to read by pointing with her finger. The shapes are well calibrated and the gestures of the pointing child and of the Madonna who holds him to his waist in a protective way, make the scene happy and redundant with harmony. A light that seems to come from a window focuses the characters and illuminates the painted clothes in a soft and fluid way. He was an example for all those Dutch-Mannerist painters of the second half of the 16th century. 40x30, oil on panel. Provenance: illustrates Catania family. "ASORstudio
