Painting Description
"The Madonna of Humility" is a 14th-century painting by Italian artist Giovanni di Bartolomeo Cristiani. The artwork is a tempera and gold on panel representation of Madonna and Child, exhibiting the distinct trait of the Byzantine style. Cristiani's take on the popularized theme is notable for its depiction of "Madonna of Humility" - the Virgin Mary seated directly on the ground, or a low cushion, as a symbol of humility, instead of on a throne, as was common in other depictions.
Cristiani, active between 1343 and 1367, was greatly influenced by the Sienese School of painting, blending gothic delicacy with a somewhat realistic depiction of the human figure. The details of the painting provide an exceptional demonstration of the late gothic influence, as well as the evolution of the Italian Renaissance traditions in art. The particular attention to human form, the use of linearity to establish contours, and the nuanced use of color and shading all provide glimpses into the emergent Renaissance style.
The painting's current location or collection status is not clearly documented, reflecting gaps in historical information and record-keeping related to many works from this period, yet its artistic value and representative nature of the period's art remain uncontested.
