Ermanno Massa - Madonna and Child

The iconography of this painting is inspired by the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced).

Despite its small size, the work is noteworthy for the artist's exaltation of volume. While the physiognomies are rendered superficially, the sculptor emphasizes the subject's plastic forms, even through a certain anti-naturalistic force that overstates the proportions. The resulting work is almost primitivistic in its simplicity and expressive power.

Ermanno Massa is a sculptor from Lazio, son of Galileo Massa. In his artistic research, he uses a figurative language that emphasizes the exaltation of volumes.
