Légende

Virgin And Child Enthroned With Four Angels, c1460-70. The Virgin Mary and Jesus are attended by angels, whose wings are partly visible. The angel in red directs our attention to the infant reaching for a flower offered by his mother, an interaction which may symbolize divine love or allude to Jesus’s fate. The angel in white casts a shadow across the base of Mary’s throne, suggesting the painting originally hung to the right of a window. Piero was an influential artist and mathematician particularly interested in perspective and in Greco-Roman antiquity.
