Madonna and Child with Saints Francis and Jerome – (Francesco Francia (Francesco Raibolini)) Previous Next


Artist:

Date: 1500

Size: 75 x 57 cm

Technique: Tempera

Dating from about 1500–1510, this fine picture exemplifies the "sweetness and harmony of coloring" that made Francia a precursor of High Renaissance art. As with his contemporaries Perugino and Bellini, Francia was especially admired for what has been called a "devotional style" of painting, in which the refinement and delicacy of the technique and the serenity of the expressions made the picture an ideal focus for meditation and prayer.
