Homage to Pietro Lorenzetti - Madonna of the Sunsets

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies throughout 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). In the case of the work in question, a perfect copy of Pietro Lorenzetti's "Madonna dei Tramonti" was created. It is a fresco executed between 1310 and 1319 in the Lower Basilica of Assisi. The work in question depicts the detail of the Madonna and Child on a stone slab, in an evocative composition that imitates a detached fresco fragment.

The present work perfectly replicates the characteristics of the "Madonna dei Tramonti," demonstrating the peculiarities of 14th-century Sienese painting, of which the Lorenzetti brothers were among the most important exponents. The graphic design, in fact, displays a splendid fusion between Giotto's exploration of a more accentuated naturalism and plastic concreteness, and the distinctively late-Gothic character of Sienese art, characterized by an unmistakable courtly refinement and a careful attention to the definition of feelings and affections. Thus, Giotto's solemnity is tempered by a more human exchange of glances, between mother and son, and a generally intimate and domestic gesture. The reproduction of the gilding and the intense lapis lazuli blue of the Madonna's robe is also beautiful.

This work is part of a collection featuring reproductions inspired by the great masters of art history. The series features graphics created by artisans using fine materials and great technical expertise.
