1400 1464 Boulonois Flemish Icon Rogier Weyden
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a masterpiece by the renowned Flemish artist Rogier van der Weyden (circa 1400-1464), titled "The Boulonais Madonna" or "Madonna and Child with Six Angels." Van der Weyden, a pioneer of Early Netherlandish painting, is celebrated for his innovative use of oil paint and his ability to imbue his works with a sense of depth and emotion. The Boulonais Madonna, created around 1455-1460, is a prime example of van der Weyden's artistic prowess. The Virgin Mary, dressed in rich blue robes and a golden veil, tenderly cradles the infant Jesus, who gazes up at her with an inquisitive expression. Six cherubic angels surround the pair, their delicate wings spread protectively. The angels' playful gestures and expressions add a sense of joy and wonder to the scene. The intricate details of the print reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The folds of Mary's robes, the delicate features of the angels, and the lifelike expressions of the figures all contribute to the overall sense of realism and emotion. The use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the image. The Boulonais Madonna is considered one of van der Weyden's most famous works and is a testament to his skill as a painter. It is a beloved icon in the history of art and continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and emotional resonance. This print is a stunning reproduction of an original work that is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France. It is a must-have for any art lover or collector, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the Flemish School and the legacy of Rogier van der Weyden.
