Gerard David (1450 – 1523)
Gerard David (cca 1460-1523), flamanski renesansni majstor poznat po detaljnim religijskim scenama i inovativnim pejzažima. Istražite njegov utjecaj na ranonederlandsko slikarstvo, uključujući djela poput "Brak svete Katarine" i "Triptih Majke s djetetom".
Gerard David has taken the Virgin and Child from his Rest on the Flight into Egypt (49.7.21) and placed them in a different context. Joseph is absent, and there is no overt reference to the journey of the Holy Family. Thus, in keeping with a contemporary trend toward the secularization of religious scenes, Mary is presented as the very model of a nurturing mother. A stream of milk flows from her breast to the lips of the Child, who turns toward the viewer and gestures with a spoon, linking physical nourishment with the spiritual nourishment he offers. The serene landscape was probably painted by Simon Bening.
