- композиция:
- Like any small child, the infant Christ clings to His Mother's clothing.
- He also holds a scroll that proclaims (in Latin) His special destiny, "I am the way, the truth, and the light."
- Likewise, the star-shaped ornament on the Virgin's cloak emphasizes Her importance.
- Called the Star of the Sea, the symbol represents Her guiding role for humanity, as navigational stars do for mariners.
- оформление:
- ~1350.
- Tempera and gold on wood.
- The raised decoration and elegant five-arched molding are original to the painting.
To acheive these effects, the artist sculpted the wet plaster of the ground layer before covering it with gold leaf; in a few places this gold leaf has worn off, revealing the white plaster underneath.
