Describe:
- Triangular shape made by the Madonna and the two children.
- Very muted and dark, yet soft, colors.
- Somewhat brighter colors on Madonna figure to bring focus to the center of the canvas.
Interpret:
- The tone of this piece is very somber, and almost somewhat sad.
- The Madonna figure and the child on the right are both looking at the Christ child, longing with sadness, as if they know the fate of Christ already.
- Relaying the importance of the divinity of Christ. Showing that even years before his death, the Madonna knew the fate of her child.
Evaluation:
- I think this piece is just OK. It's not my favorite work ever, but it's tolerable. I like the very soft lines throughout the piece, it makes it feel very sort of angelic or divine. I do not like, however, the dark colors that are used. I think it would have given off a more divine feeling if more light and pleasing colors were used.
