Domenico, Bologna. It is signed on the throne’s plinth: IERONIMVS. TREVISIVS. P.[INXIT] (‘Girolamo of Treviso painted this’).\n\nFilippo Fasanini was a professor of rhetoric and poetry at the University of Bologna. His will stipulated that the altarpiece was to represent the Virgin Mary with the infant Christ, Saint Joseph, Saint Philip, Saint James and his own likeness taken from nature. Filippo is kneeling in his black academic gown at the bottom left. His sunken features suggest that his portrait was painted from a death mask – a plaster cast of the face of the corpse. The patron’s name saint, Philip, is probably the one presenting him to the Virgin and Christ.\n\nThe altarpiece was praised by Vasari in his 1550 edition of The Lives of the Artists as Girolamo’s best work.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/girolamo-da-treviso-the-virgin-and-child-with-saints-and-filippo-fasanini\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Virgin and Child with Saints Joseph, Philip and James, and Filippo Fasanini at Prayer\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Girolamo da Treviso","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509623427315,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (88 3\/4\" x 58\")","offer_id":50509623460083,"sku":null,"price":7464.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (22 1\/8\" x 14 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509623492851,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (27 1\/8\" x 17 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509623525619,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (33 1\/4\" x 21 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509623558387,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (42 7\/8\" x 28\")","offer_id":50509623591155,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (51 3\/8\" x 33 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509623623923,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (60 5\/8\" x 39 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509623656691,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (72 3\/4\" x 47 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509623689459,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheVirginandChildwithSaintsJoseph.jpg?v=1788695645","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-virgin-and-child-with-saints-joseph-philip-and-james-and-filippo-fasanini-at-prayer-ngal703","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
