A devotional painting by Lorenzo Monaco, 'Head of the Virgin Mary' features the Virgin with a gold halo, her head inclined in a gesture of humility and contemplation.
This panel painting, titled 'Head of the Virgin Mary', is attributed to Lorenzo Monaco, an Italian painter of the late Gothic period. Monaco, born around 1370, was known for his elegant figures and refined use of colour, characteristics evident in this devotional work. He trained in the tradition of Giotto and his followers, and his art represents a transition from the Gothic style to the early Renaissance. The painting presents a close-up view of the Virgin Mary, her head inclined in a gesture of humility and contemplation. Her face is rendered with delicate modelling, and her features are idealised, reflecting the spiritual nature of the subject. She wears a dark blue veil, edged with a decorative border, which contrasts with the gold background. The halo, indicated by a circular gold field, is ornamented with punched designs, a common feature in paintings of this era. The use of tempera on panel gives the painting a luminous quality, with the gold leaf adding to the overall sense of reverence and sanctity. The painting's focus on the Virgin's head invites the viewer to contemplate her piety and role as the mother of Christ.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
