Madonna Enthroned with Angels and Prophets

🕊️

by Cimabue

Like most religious paintings, this one makes me feel peaceful, but because it's just slightly uncanny valley, it's not at the top of my list of faves. Note: I am not practicing but I like the comfort of religion anyway :)

When did art last move you?

Capture it before it fades.

Art experiences are fleeting. Capture the artwork, write one sentence, and keep the moment in your art journal.

That simple habit is the idea behind artjournal.ing.

About This Artwork

ca. 1280-1290, tempura and gold leaf on wood I like the strong verticality with 4 prophets on the bottom in this painting, and the gold leaf is a classic sign of Byzantine era works. This is the first altarpiece with gabled top. Plus gold isn't just used in the background, it's also included in Mary's robe to enhance her 3-D visual. Homunculus baby Jesus is always goofy to look at.
