EDITORS COMMENTS
Madonna dei Gigli," or "Madonna of the Lilies," is a captivating work of art painted by the Italian artist Gaetano Previati between 1893 and 1894. This masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milano, Italy. Previati, born in 1852, was a prominent figure in the art world of the late 19th century, known for his contributions to the Impressionist, Divisionist, and Neo-Impressionist movements. In this painting, he employs the techniques of Divisionism and Pointillism, which involve breaking down colors into small, distinct dots or points, creating an optical blend when viewed from a distance. The composition of the painting centers around the Virgin Mary, seated on a throne, cradling the Christ Child in her arms. She gazes tenderly down at him, her expression serene and loving. The Christ Child reaches out towards a lily, its delicate white petals contrasting with the rich, earthy tones of Mary's robes. The background is filled with lilies, their vibrant colors seemingly brought to life through Previati's masterful application of paint. The Madonna and Child are depicted in a warm, golden light, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. The New Testament story of Mary presenting Jesus with lilies in the temple is subtly referenced in this painting, adding an additional layer of meaning and symbolism. Previati's "Madonna dei Gigli" is a beautiful and moving representation of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill and innovative techniques. This painting continues to captivate viewers and remains an important work in the history of Italian art.
