Painting Description
"Madonna and Child with Sts Matthew and Nicholas" is a notable early 14th-century altarpiece painting by the Italian artist Bernardo Daddi, a prominent painter of the Florentine school during the late medieval period. Created in 1328, this work is an exemplar of the Gothic style that flourished in Italy during this era, showcasing Daddi's skill in blending traditional Byzantine influences with the emerging naturalism that would later characterize the Italian Renaissance.
The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child on her lap, a common subject in Christian art known as the Madonna and Child. Flanking the central figures are Saint Matthew and Saint Nicholas, each rendered with individualized features and attributes that allow for their identification; Saint Matthew is often depicted with an angel or a winged man, symbolizing his gospel's emphasis on Christ's humanity, while Saint Nicholas is recognizable by his bishop's attire and possibly holding three golden balls or bags of gold, referencing the miracles attributed to him.
Bernardo Daddi's work is characterized by its delicate attention to detail, the use of gold leaf to highlight the divine nature of the subjects, and the careful arrangement of figures within a harmonious composition. The painting's provenance and stylistic elements suggest it was likely commissioned for a church or private devotional setting, reflecting the pious intentions and spiritual aspirations of its patrons.
"Madonna and Child with Sts Matthew and Nicholas" is a significant piece within Daddi's oeuvre, as it illustrates the transition from medieval iconography to a more humanized and approachable representation of sacred figures. The painting is an important artifact for the study of early Italian painting, contributing to our understanding of the cultural and artistic developments of the period. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location or ownership of the painting may require further research for a complete encyclopedic entry.
