Triptych Of The Virgin's Life (Bouts)
''Triptych of the Virgin's Life'' is an oil on panel painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts. It was executed ''circa'' 1445 and is in the collection of the Museo del Prado, in Madrid. Description The triptych comprises four scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary emphasising her role in the Redemption (theology), Redemption. These are the Annunciation, the Annunciation, Visitation, the Nativity of Jesus, Adoration of the Angels, and the Adoration of the Magi. The sculpted portals derive from Rogier van der Weyden's ''Miraflores Altarpiece''. There are strong affinities with Petrus Christus' Washington '' Nativity (Christus) , Nativity'', so much so that the painting was once attributed to Christus. Erwin Panofsky believed the strong connection is evidence that the young Dieric Bouts attached himself to Petrus Christus early in his career.Panofsky pp. 314-5 Gallery File:Rogier van der Weyden - The Altar of Our Lady (Miraflores Altar) - Google Art Project.jpg, Ro ...

Miraflores Altarpiece
''The Miraflores Altarpiece'' (or ''Triptych of the Virgin'', or ''The Altar of Our Lady'' or the ''Mary Altarpiece'') is a c. 1442-5 oil-on-oak wood panel altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish painter Rogier van der Weyden, in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin since 1850. The three panels are each 71 x 43 cm and show, from left to right, a portrait of the Holy Family, a Pietà (the Virgin cradling the dead body of Jesus) and Christ's appearance to Mary—a chronological reading of the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus,Chipps Smith, 172 with Mary the focus of both wings. The altarpiece examines Mary's relationship with Christ at different stages of his life. It is notable for its use of colour, distinguished by its use of whites, reds and blues, and use of line—notably the line of Christ's body in the central panel—and, typically of van der Weyden, its emotional impact. Typical for triptychs of the period, the altarpiece is rich in religious symbolism; each panel is framed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paintings Depicting The Annunciation
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Erwin Panofsky
Erwin Panofsky (March 30, 1892 in Hannover – March 14, 1968 in Princeton, New Jersey) was a German-Jewish art historian, whose academic career was pursued mostly in the U.S. after the rise of the Nazi regime. Panofsky's work represents a high point in the modern academic study of iconography, which he used in hugely influentialShone, Richard and Stonard, John-Paul, eds. ''The Books that Shaped Art History'', chapter 7. London: Thames & Hudson, 2013. works like his "little book" ''Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art'' and his masterpiece, ''Early Netherlandish Painting''.

Nativity (Christus)
The ''Nativity'' is a devotional mid-1450s oil-on-wood panel painting by the Early Netherlandish painting, Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. It shows a Nativity of Jesus in art, nativity scene with grisaille archways and ''trompe-l'œil'' sculptured reliefs. Christus was influenced by the first generation of Netherlandish artists, especially Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden, and the panel is characteristic of the simplicity and naturalism of art of that period. Placing archways as a framing device is a typical van der Weyden device, and here likely borrowed from that artist's ''Altar of Saint John'' and ''Miraflores Altarpiece''. Yet Christus adapts these painterly motifs to a uniquely mid-15th century sensibility, and the unusually large panel – perhaps painted as a central altarpiece panel for a triptych – is nuanced and visually complex. It shows his usual harmonious composition and employment of Perspective (graphical), one-point-perspective, esp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petrus Christus
Petrus Christus (; 1410/1420 – 1475/1476) was an Early Netherlandish painter active in Bruges from 1444, where, along with Hans Memling, he became the leading painter after the death of Jan van Eyck. He was influenced by van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden and is noted for his innovations with linear perspective and a meticulous technique which seems derived from miniatures and manuscript illumination. Today, some 30 works are confidently attributed to him.Petrus Christus (active by 1444, died 1475/76) . Metropolitan Museum of Art. Retrieved 9 March 2014 The best known include the '' Portrait of a Carthusian'' (1446) and '' [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rogier Van Der Weyden
Rogier van der Weyden () or Roger de la Pasture (1399 or 140018 June 1464) was an Early Netherlandish painting, early Netherlandish painter whose surviving works consist mainly of religious triptychs, altarpieces, and commissioned single and diptych portraits. He was highly successful in his lifetime; his paintings were exported to Italy and Spain, and he received commissions from, amongst others, Philip the Good, Netherlandish nobility, and foreign princes. By the latter half of the 15th century, he had eclipsed Jan van Eyck in popularity. However his fame lasted only until the 17th century, and largely due to changing taste, he was almost totally forgotten by the mid-18th century. His reputation was slowly rebuilt during the following 200 years; today he is known, with Robert Campin and van Eyck, as the third (by birth date) of the three great Early Flemish artists (''Vlaamse Primitieven'' or "Flemish Primitives"), and widely as the most influential Northern painter of the 15th ...
