BACHIACCA (FRANCESCO D'UBERTINO VERDI). MADONNA AND CHILD

Madonna and Child. Artist: Bachiacca (Francesco d'Ubertino Verdi) (Italian, Florence 1494-1557 Florence). Dimensions: 34 1/4 x 26 1/2 in. (87 x 67.3 cm). Date: possibly early 1520s. Bachiacca was a friend and associate of Andrea del Sarto, and collaborated with him and Francesco Granacci on a memorable series of paintings for a bedroom in Florence. This devotional painting shows the Madonna and Child amidst a selection of carefully depicted flowers--jasmine, cornflower, rose, and sweetbriar--all of which were symbols of the Virgin or Christ in the Renaissance. The composition, also the basis for paintings by Granacci, one of which is exhibited in this gallery, was inspired either by a relief sculpture by Donatello or, more likely, a drawing by Michelangelo, with whom both painters were acquainted.
