Painting Description
Madonna and Child with a Goldfinch is a mid-14th-century artwork painted by the Italian Bernardo Daddi. It is characterised by its detailed figural representation, courtly elegance and tender humanism, traits that are representative of the artist's style during the mature phase of his career.
The depicts the Virgin Mary and the Child in an intimate and affectionate pose that is typical of Byzantine art, reflecting the maniera greca that was prevalent during Daddi's lifetime. The Virgin is shown as a majestic queen, decked in a richly brocaded golden robe with a crown on her head. The Christ Child, in her arms, is shown tenderly reaching out to a goldfinch, symbolizing His future Passion.
It's a purely devotional image, intended to inspire private prayer and meditation. The premium materials used and the craftsmanship imply it was commissioned by an affluent patron, although the patron's identity remains unknown. The painting represents a significant phase in Florentine art before the onset of the Renaissance, as it showcases one of Daddi's attempts at moving away from the decorative emphasis of Gothic art towards a representational style that is more reflective of nature.
Madonna and Child with a Goldfinch can be seen as a typical example of the smaller panels produced by Daddi in vast numbers for private devotion, even though it retains a high level of detail, finesse and opulence generally reserved for public commissions. This work continues to offer significant insights into the evolution of Florentine painting culture and the trends of private devotional patronage in 14th century Italy.
