FRANCESCO GRANACCI (FRANCESCO DI ANDREA DI MARCO). MADONNA AND CHILD

Madonna and Child. Artist: Francesco Granacci (Francesco di Andrea di Marco) (Italian, Villamagna 1469-1543 Florence). Dimensions: 34 1/8 x 25 3/8 in. (86.7 x 64.5 cm). Date: ca. 1520. The composition of this picture seems to have been inspired from a sculpture in low relief, most likely by either Donatello or Michelangelo (Granacci had been a fellow pupil with Michelangelo in the workshop of Ghirlandaio.). However, Granacci has made the composition more pictorial by placing the figures in a light-filled room. Another version of the picture by Granacci exists and the same composition was treated by Bacchiacca (Linsky Collection, the Metropolitan Museum). The present picture dates about 1520.
