LabelWhile the balanced composition and the architecture of this work reflect refinements of Italian High Renaissance art, the figures of the Virgin and child are based on a painting by Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden (1399/1400–1464).* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
