Virgin and Child with Angels, 1405. Creator: Spinello Aretino (Italian, 1350 / 52-1410)
Virgin and Child with Angels, 1405. This central panel from an altarpiece shows the Madonna seated on a throne with the infant Christ, surrounded by kneeling angels and six-winged seraphim. Below is an image of the dead Christ flanked by the Virgin Mary and Saint John. Above the arch is the Blessing Christ after his ascent into heaven and two more angels who gaze down on the main scene. Together these images extol the role of the Madonna in the redemption of humankind. Spinello Aretino was a painter of devotional panels, altarpieces, and frescos. His most important commissions were painted in Arezzo, Lucca, Florence, Pisa, and Siena. His concern for space and the powerful outlines of his figures reflect a greater understanding of the principles developed by Giotto and his contemporaries, yet his keen sense of decoration reveals an equal awareness of Sienese painting

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite artistry of Spinello Aretino. This central panel from an altarpiece transports us to a sacred realm where the Madonna sits gracefully on a throne, cradling the infant Christ in her arms. Surrounding them are celestial beings - kneeling angels and six-winged seraphim, their presence adding an ethereal touch to this divine scene. Beneath this heavenly tableau lies an image of the dead Christ, flanked by the sorrowful figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John. Above it all, we witness the Blessing Christ after his ascent into heaven, accompanied by two angels who gaze down upon this profound moment. Through these meticulously painted images, Spinello Aretino emphasizes the pivotal role played by the Madonna in humankind's redemption. His mastery over space and powerful outlines echoes Giotto's influence while his keen sense of decoration reflects Sienese painting techniques. Spinello Aretino was renowned for his devotional panels, altarpieces, and frescos across various Italian cities such as Arezzo, Lucca Florence Pisa, and Siena during the early 15th century. In "Virgin and Child with Angels" he skillfully employs tempera and gold on wood panel to create a mesmerizing visual narrative that continues to captivate viewers today. This remarkable piece is now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' commitment to preserving cultural heritage through their collection of fine prints like this one.
