Rogier Van Der Weyden - Saint Luke portrays the Madonna (c. 1435)


Robert Campin's lesson has been well studied, learned and passed by the student.
The interior embellished with incredible drapery and the inevitable checkerboard floor opens onto a breathtaking panorama of the city.
An incredibly attentive San Luca portrays a Madonna del Latte. He who portrayed the life of Jesus and his birth here in words pays homage to the art of which he is patron.
Light and shadow play in this painting to create depth and intimacy.
