EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork titled "Madonna of the Quail (Madonna della Quaglia)" found in the esteemed Collection of Museo di Castelvecchio, Verona. This masterpiece, created during the Gothic period, depicts a significant moment from Christian mythology. In this painting, we witness Mary, also known as Madonna or Our Lady, cradling her divine infant son Jesus Christ. The artist's skillful use of tempera on panel brings to life their tender bond and radiates a sense of spiritual tranquility. As the Mother of God and Blessed Virgin Mary, Mary is revered for her purity and devotion. The Madonna holds a quail delicately in her hand while gazing lovingly at her child. Symbolically, this quail represents sacrifice and redemption as it alludes to an episode from the New Testament where quails were sent by God to feed his people in times of need. Attributed to Pisanello or Antonio (1395-1455) from the School of Mantua, this piece exemplifies their mastery in capturing emotions through intricate details and vibrant colors. Its presence within Museo di Castelvecchio adds further significance to its cultural value. This print allows us to appreciate not only fine art but also explore themes central to Christianity such as motherhood and divinity. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, art has played an integral role in conveying religious narratives with profound impact.
