Painting Description
"Madonna of Humility" is a 15th-century tempera on panel painting by Italian artist Lazzaro Bastiani, a prominent figure in the Venetian school of painting. The work is notable for its depiction of the Virgin Mary, which embodies the concept of "humilitas" or humility, a virtue highly esteemed in Christian theology. In this representation, the Madonna is typically shown seated on the ground or a low cushion, rather than enthroned, which brings her closer to the earthly realm and emphasizes her approachability and humility.
Lazzaro Bastiani, active from about 1449 until his death in 1512, was a contemporary of the more famous Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. Bastiani's style is characterized by its narrative clarity and attention to detail, qualities that are evident in the "Madonna of Humility." His work bridges the gap between the late Gothic and early Renaissance artistic sensibilities, combining elements of both to create devotional images that resonated with the faithful of his time.
The "Madonna of Humility" by Bastiani is distinguished by its serene composition and the gentle interaction between the Virgin and the Christ Child, who is often depicted in her lap. The painting's iconography may include symbolic elements such as roses, which represent Mary's purity, and a book or scroll, indicating her wisdom and reflection on the Word of God. The background of the painting might feature a landscape or a detailed interior, which further situates the holy figures within a relatable context.
While the exact date of the painting's creation is uncertain, it is generally attributed to the latter half of the 15th century, a period that saw the flourishing of religious art in Venice. The "Madonna of Humility" by Lazzaro Bastiani is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the devotional practices and artistic preferences of the time. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the evolution of Marian iconography and the development of the Venetian Renaissance style.
