Una delle chicche della Galleria è un dipinto tempera su tavola (61,5x87,5 cm) attribuito ad Andrea Mantegna, databile al 1500 circa.La tavola, che presenta una grave lacuna nella parte superiore a sinistra, è un esempio del tardo stile del maestro. Al centro si trova la Madonna col Bambino, che sta in piedi torreggiando sulle sue ginocchia. Appoggianto in basso si vede san Giovannino con la tipica pelle da eremita nel deserto, il bastone con la croce e il cartiglio dove solitamente sta scritto "Ecce Agnus Dei..." Madre e figlio non si guardano, ma il loro legame è simboleggiato dai teneri gesti con cui si abbracciano. Il volto pensieroso e malinconico della Vergine è dovuto alla sua prefigurazione della Passione. Degli altri santi presenti solo alcuni sono riconoscibili da attributi: a destra si vede chiaramente santa Caterina d'Alessandria con la ruota dentata, suo tipico attributo, seguita da una santa anziana, forse Anna e Gioacchino o santa Elisabetta, e un santo (san Giuseppe?). Dall'altro lato si vedono una santa, forse Maria Maddalena la cui presenza anticipa la Passione di Cristo, e un santo con libro, forse l'evangelista Giovanni. Le figure si trovano tutte in primo piano e si accalcano occupando tutto lo spazio pittorico, secondo un'iconografia che facilitava la comprensione del fedele e quindi l'uso devozionale. La scena è organizzata su un ritmo pacato, con colori brillanti amplificati dal cielo azzurrino dello sfondo.

I like the compositional rigor, but I notice a dominant a bit 'too hot.
I've never been to the Royal Polo and I have never seen this painting from life.
Then I could be wrong about the real colors, but you, in the description, you talk about
sky "bluish" missing ...

Yours sincerely, Antonio.

Good evening Dante. My great passion! I've never seen the true Mantegna is my favorite! I saw the "Dead Christ Darker" For me an intense emotion! The greatest masterpiece painting and emotional! I go to see the other! Hello-FB

Antonvito hello, I reported in the caption in part what the book describes about the painting, remember the state where today there is the canvas, and the lighting and finally I always prefer a dominant slightly warm; going to review the raw you notice the sky slightly darker as I presented the shot but surely the bluish as we know it is not there.
thank you very much for your comment and accurate cordial greetings!
