Madonna and Child with Two Angels
The Ran Collection
Madonna and Child with Two Angels, or the Uffizi Madonna by Fra Filippo Lippi, is painted sometime between 1455 and 1466. It belongs to Uffizi Gallery since 1796. Fra Filippo Lippi was one of the leading painters in Renaissance Florence in mid-15th century.
Filippo developed a linear, expressive style, which anticipated the achievements of his pupil Botticelli. Beginning work in the late 1430s, Lippi won several important commissions for large-scale altarpieces,and in his later years he produced two fresco cycles that had a decisive impact on 16th-century cycles. He produced some of the earliest autonomous portrait paintings of the Renaissance, and his smaller-scale Virgin and Child compositions are among the most personal and expressive of that era. Throughout most of his career he was patronized by the powerful Medici family and allied clans.
Madonna and Child with Angels is one of the most beautiful paintings of the Florentine Renaissance, a daring example of the humanizing of religion. The Renaissance painter made the relation between Mary and child Christ that of a real mother and baby.
The beautiful small scale replica by Katrin Schwarz is sanctified in Gornensky (Gorny) Covenant in the Holy Land, western Jerusalem. The Covenant was founded in 1871, at the place where Mary and Elisabeth were seeing each other after the Virgin receiving the news from a divine messenger that she would bear the God's Son. Shortly after Mary went to see her cousin Elizabeth, who, in her old age, became the mother of John the Baptist. Gornensky (Gorny) Covenant is The Russian Orthodox Mission of Moscow Patriarchate in Jerusalem, one of the most famous Christian covenants in the world.
