Michele Lapesara - 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). This painting by Michele Lapesara is inspired by the "Madonna della Seggiola," a famous work by Raphael Sanzio.

Artist Michele Lapesara is known for his urban landscapes, which combine a flair for vibrant, lively illustration with a wealth of folkloristic and popular details. His compositions feature famous Italian squares and monuments, populated by vibrant, folkloristic scenes. In this case, Lapesara combines the glimpse of Venice in the background with his interpretation of Raphael's "Madonna della Seggiola." As always, his style is graphic and concise, engaging the viewer with the richness of the details, drawn with a thin black line. The palette, featuring vibrant hues, perfectly complements the imaginative nature of the entire work.

Michele Lapesara is an Apulian painter born in Bari in 1935. His work is distinguished by vibrant city views with a folkloristic feel. He prefers to depict important squares and monuments, especially in Apulia and his native Bari.
