Мадонна с младенцем

Attributed to Claus de Werve Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

Предположительно, Жан Бесстрашный, герцог Бургундский (ск. в 1419 г.), либо его жена, Маргарита Баварская (ск. в 1424 г.), заказали это произведение для монастыря бедных кларис, основанного ими в Полиньи. Кудрявый Иисус смотрит снизу на мать, которая держит на коленях его и книгу. Эта нежная сцена также представляет утонченную теологическую тему из библейской книги Экклезиаста, провозглашенную латинской надписью на скамейке и восхваляющую мудрость: «От начала мира, и до начала мира был я создан...» (24:14). К XIII в. католическая церковь пришла к мнению о том, что эти слова — о Деве Марии.
