Madonna with the Child and John the Baptist by Vittorio Carpaccio

Madonna with the Child and John the Baptist by Vittorio Carpaccio

Carpaccio quite often treated religious subjects in a genre key – more often than contemporary Venetian painters.

However, one of his religious paintings is unusual even for him. This is the Madonna with the Child and John the Baptist “from the Stadelevsky Institute in Frankfurt. Anyone before Carpaccio did not write the Child Jesus as an ordinary little boy in a modern children’s suit.

The whole composition is more like a scene from the life of a pious Venetian family than the traditional image of the Madonna and the Child. The picture is all the more strange, that usually the Carpaccio portrayed the Mother of God as it was customary. For example, almost nothing from the many other Madonnas is different his Madonna from Scuola di San Jordi-jo. “

Exactly the same Madonna on the throne “could be written by any of the Bellini brothers. It must be admitted, however, that this image is deprived of the necessary for this kind of works of monumentality and impressiveness. As a narrator, Carpaccio very often failed where it was necessary to create something static, majestic.
