Sul dipinto

This painting is a good example of the Hispano-Flemish style of the late 15th century in Spain. Probably executed in Seville, this work shows the Virgin and Child set in an architectural frame which derives from the decoration of the doors of the Cathedral of Seville. The dominant feature of this frame is the acanthus leaves which runs all along the different sections while the Madonna, with a round face and long curly hair, and the Child are reminiscent of Flemish prototypes. The importance of the architectural frame compared with the Madonna and Child suggest this piece was part of large ensemble.
