Depictions of the Virgin
by Jan GOSSART

Gossart painted many versions of the Virgin and Child. The image of the Virgin and Child surrounded by the brilliance of the sun's rays was linked to a specific devotion popular in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries in the Low Countries. While the skilful presentation of the tactile qualities of flesh and fabrics had been previously mastered in Netherlandish painting, the utterly human relationship between the Virgin and Child is entirely new. The has filtered into Gossart's work from Italian Renaissance sculpted and painted examples.
