1343 1406 Madonna Pere Serra Tempera Tortosa Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite work of art, titled "Madonna with Angels," is a breathtaking example of Gothic art created by the renowned Spanish painter Pere Serra between the years 1343 and 1406. The painting, executed in tempera on wood, is currently housed in the historic city of Tortosa, Spain. Pere Serra was a prominent figure in the Gothic art movement in Spain, known for his intricate details, vibrant colors, and religious themes. In this masterpiece, Serra depicts the Virgin Mary with her arms outstretched, cradling the infant Jesus in a tender embrace. Surrounding them are a multitude of angels, their faces filled with adoration and reverence. The delicate folds of Mary's robes and the intricate details of the angels' wings are rendered with remarkable skill and precision. The use of tempera, a traditional painting technique of the time, allows for a rich, textured effect that adds depth and dimension to the image. The historical significance of this painting lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its connection to the cultural and religious heritage of Spain during the late Middle Ages. The image of the Madonna and Child surrounded by angels was a popular motif in European art of the period, reflecting the deep devotion to the Virgin Mary and the belief in the presence of divine beings in everyday life. Today, the "Madonna with Angels" by Pere Serra remains an enduring testament to the artistic and spiritual sensibilities of the Gothic era, offering a glimpse into the beliefs and values of a bygone age. Its preservation in the historic city of Tortosa ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate the beauty and significance of this remarkable work of art.
