Madonna and Child Enthroned

Workshop of Paolo Veneziano Italian
ca. 1350
Not on view
Lacking the exquisite facture characteristic of Paolo Veneziano—the founder of Venetian painting—this picture must have been painted in his workshop and conveys some of the decorative richness and tender expressions that were his legacy. The picture may have been the center of an altarpiece, possibly painted for a city along the Adriatic coast. It has suffered a good deal, particularly in the face of the Virgin where there is a loss in her right cheek. The blue of her drapery has scattered losses.
