EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century artwork, titled "The Virgin and Child Enthroned, Adored by Saints," is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Giuseppe Bernardino Bison (1724-1795), also known as Bison da Palmanova. The drawing, executed primarily in brown ink with some graphite and color, is believed to date back to the 1790s. The composition depicts the Virgin Mary, seated on a throne with the infant Jesus in her arms, surrounded by adoring saints. The Madonna, dressed in rich robes, gazes down at her son with a tender expression, while Christ Antiphonetes, holding a book, pays homage to his mother. The saints, represented in profile, offer flowers and other symbols of devotion. The drawing is a beautiful illustration of the biblical concept of the adoration of the Christ Child, a common theme in Christian art. The use of brown ink and color on laid paper adds to the antique and historic feel of the artwork, transporting us back to the eighteenth century. This precious drawing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of Christianity on art. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the depiction of the Madonna and Child in European art. The National Gallery of Art is fortunate to exhibit such a rare and beautiful work by Giuseppe Bernardino Bison.
