The Virgin and Child with Saint Paul and a Female Martyr
Artist: Francesco Bissolo (Italian, c. 1470 - 1554)
Original Dimensions: 30 3/4" x 46 1/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (Probably 1505-30) "The Virgin Mary and Christ Child are seated outdoors with a simple cloth of honour hanging behind them to resemble a throne. Saint Paul, identified by the book and sword he holds, stands in the position of greatest honour on the Virgin and Christ’s right-hand side. A female saint stands on their left. She is holding a palm frond, which indicates that she is a martyr, but she lacks any other attribute to identify her. Bissolo is described as a pupil of Giovanni Bellini and seems to have been a frequent collaborator, specifically employed to add donor portraits to Bellini’s Madonnas. He copied the group of the Virgin and Child in this painting from Bellini’s altarpiece of 1505 in San Zaccaria, Venice; he also repeated it in other pictures. There is a horizontal crack running the whole width of the panel at the level of the Virgin’s lips, and there are patches of damage to the painted flesh." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
