Religious Painting "Madonna and Child with the Young St John"

How unusual young Botticelli late work ! Think back , for example, his Venus 1482 . This sweet painting show sufficient flow of hedonism , Venus yourself loose and tease subtle , gentle cluster shrouded her long auburn hair in her left hand, she also contacts in her pussy nude . In this new , post- style to a certain extent the old saying - the form was razed ; Mary , towering , layered look - a devout overall effort seemed solemn Botticelli 's works , Edward Hopper will show his maker last day.

What happened between those years do ? Two factors contribute to this dramatic change brought brush and heart. One of them is the death of Lorenzo the Magnificent in 1492 . Pico della Mirandola within two years of the event , his son Piero has been forced into exile , has died, a charismatic preacher fear-inducing effects began to surface. The man Savonarola . Under the threat of secular art , and the pastor 's teachings Botticelli 's studio in an intense debate.

How closely the virgin and her child's face seemed similar to each other , and how similar , for example , the face-down mouth . Expansion space through these institutions feel powerless . Even if your child seems enormous, his age . They are pushed up , perspective, boundary walls for painting edward hopper morning sun. Madonna themselves would be great to erect ratchet her own . When she was bending over backwards , so she almost faint gold-plated disc shave the top edge of the canvas .

Looks like the Madonna and her child 's face with a strange ritual , almost otherworldly , neutral them , as if they are going through a rapturous dream of his life - which means , of course , the core of their fate people the world's greatest historical drama . They will pass the bill , which is already known to them , the contemporary crowd : passion.
