Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels
1452
An iconic masterpiece of the French Renaissance, this panel depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned and surrounded by red and blue angels. The Virgin is portrayed with porcelain-white skin wearing an ornate jeweled crown and ermine-trimmed blue gown. Known as the right wing of the Melun Diptych, this devotional work exemplifies Fouquet's revolutionary fusion of Northern European technique with Italian Renaissance monumentality.
