Virgin and Child, c. 1662. Creator: Anna Maria Carew (British)
Virgin and Child, c. 1662. Larger in size than most portrait miniatures, the Madonna and Child by Anna Maria Carew is a cabinet miniature, or a small work on vellum, enamel, or ivory that copies a full-scale oil painting. In this case the original painting was by Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck, and engraved by Paulus Pontius around 1630 shortly after it was painted. As a cabinet miniature, this work is somewhat unusual because of its religious subject and its simplicity. Cabinet miniatures tended instead to reproduce paintings of dramatic subjects and climactic moments in myths or religious stories. They could be hung on the wall or stored in elaborate and specially designed furniture, and they were often displayed in the smaller, more private rooms of a house

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Virgin and Child" cabinet miniature, created by British artist Anna Maria Carew in 1662. Unlike most portrait miniatures of that time, this piece is larger in size and meticulously crafted on vellum using watercolor heightened with gum and gold accents. Carew's masterpiece is a faithful reproduction of an original oil painting by Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck, which was engraved by Paulus Pontius around 1630. What sets this work apart is its religious subject matter and simplicity, as cabinet miniatures typically depicted dramatic scenes from myths or religious stories. During the 17th century, these delicate artworks were often displayed in smaller private rooms or stored within specially designed furniture. The "Virgin and Child" could be hung on a wall to be admired or carefully preserved for future generations to appreciate. The attention to detail and skillful technique employed by Anna Maria Carew truly shines through in this remarkable creation. It serves as a testament to her talent as an artist and her dedication to faithfully reproducing iconic works of art. This stunning print captures the beauty and historical significance of Carew's "Virgin and Child" allowing viewers today to admire the intricate details that make it such a treasured piece within the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art.
