The Madonna of Humility, c1430
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Fra Angelico is a captivating painting that exudes a sense of tenderness and devotion. This exquisite artwork, part of the Mellon Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, beautifully captures the essence of motherhood and religious significance. In this masterpiece, we see the Virgin Mary seated on a humble cushion with her eyes gently lowered in reverence. Cradled in her arms is baby Jesus, portrayed as an innocent and serene child. The artist's skilled use of color and light brings out the warmth and love shared between mother and child. Fra Angelico's portrayal emphasizes humility, as seen through Mary's simple attire and lack of adornment. This choice reflects her selflessness as she embraces her role as both mother to Jesus and symbolically to all humanity. The painting not only showcases exceptional artistic skill but also conveys deep spiritual meaning. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as faith, devotion, and the sacred bond between parent and child. As we gaze upon "The Madonna of Humility" we are transported back to 15th-century Florence where Fra Angelico was renowned for his contributions to religious art. Through this print from "Masterpieces of Painting" edited by Huntington Cairns and John Walker, we have the privilege to appreciate this timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire awe today.
