Jan Provost - Madonna in glory (1524)


Jan Provost always pays obsessive attention to construction. The Virgin is in a dominant position in the painting and is profuse of light, sending it culminates with the crown on which the Holy Spirit rests, surmounted by God.
A very popular Sacred Conversation, with many characters but two stand out. The Persian Sibyl has a contemporary dress to the painter, beautiful is its richly decorated garment and full of precious details. King David plays his lyre and in ecstasy contemplates.
