Ludovico Carracci, 1607 - Madonna and Child with Saints - fine art print

Original artwork description as provided by the museum's website (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This exquisite picture was painted for Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani (1554–1621) when he was papal legate to Bologna. It is a paradigm of Ludovico’s mature style: the pose of the Madonna evokes Michelangelo’s sibyls in the Sistine Chapel, while the emphasis on elegance echoes the work of Parmigianino. Ludovico thus pays homage to the great figures of the preceding century as the basis of his own Grand Manner. The stalks of wheat held by the Christ Child are emblems of the Eucharist. The saints are: Bernard, Peter, Andrew, Paul, Catherine of Alexandria, and an unidentified virgin saint.

In 1607 Ludovico Carracci created the artpiece with the title Madonna and Child with Saints. The original version has the following size: 11 3/4 x 9 7/8 in (29,8 x 25,1 cm) and was made with the medium oil on copper. Moveover, this artwork is in the the The Metropolitan Museum of Art's art collection.
