Synopsis
Excerpt from The Henry Goldman Collection
This early Madonna 18 so closely related to the works of Giotto that one who is not a professional would immediately think of the master himself, and even experts are inclined to maintain that the picture is by Giotto. It is here that we breathe the spirit of the great and monumental religious art of Giotto, which originated in the revival of religion by Francis of Assisi at the end of the thirteenth century. The heavy massive forms of the Mother and Child are those of the Madonna compositions of Giotto, and represent the new ideal of physical beauty which succeeded the flat Byzantine manner. It is only the almond-shaped eyes and the sweeping ges ture of the Child's outstretched hand, as well as the elderly look of the Child, which show the Byzantine influence which Giotto received from Cimabue. In spite of the fact that this art is so corporeal and so heavy, it has not become so realistic that it has lost its religious meaning. It is filled with that Sublime transcendental feeling which is so characteristic of medieval art, for Giotto is the intellectual representative of the Middle Ages, although the beginning of the Renaissance can be seen in his strong individualism and his feeling for realism.
