Painting Description
The Meyer Madonna is a notable Renaissance painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, created circa 1526–1528. This devotional artwork, also known as the Madonna of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, is celebrated for its exquisite detail, rich color palette, and the fusion of Northern Renaissance and Italian Renaissance styles. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by the patron Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, the then-burgomaster of Basel, his late wife Magdalena Baer, and their children. The figures are presented in a domestic interior, a setting that reflects the influence of contemporary Flemish art.
Holbein's mastery in portraiture is evident in the lifelike representations of the Meyer family, whose inclusion in the painting alongside the Madonna and Child was a common practice in religious art of the time, symbolizing the patrons' piety and devotion. The Meyer Madonna is particularly significant for its demonstration of Holbein's skill in blending realism with iconography, as seen in the detailed textures of clothing and furnishings, as well as the symbolic elements that convey theological themes.
The painting has a complex provenance, having been in various private and public collections throughout its history. It has been subject to several restorations and has been studied extensively by art historians for its stylistic and historical importance. The Meyer Madonna is not only a testament to Holbein's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the religious and social context of the early 16th century. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Hans Holbein the Younger and continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and emotional depth.
