圣母与圣子

Attributed to Claus de Werve Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

勃艮第公爵“无畏的约翰”(卒于1419年)和他的妻子巴伐利亚的玛格丽特(卒于1424年)在玻利尼建立了“贫穷修女会”,这件艺术杰作可能就是这位丈夫或妻子委托制作的。卷发的耶稣抬头看自己的母亲,玛丽亚搂着他,腿上放着一本书。这幅温柔的画面代表一个复杂的神学主题,由长凳上的铭文点明,那是一句来自《西拉书》的颂扬智慧的经文:从起初,在万世以先,我就已被造……(24:14)到十三世纪的时候,天主教就已认为这句话指的是玛利亚。
