Description:
|
Filippino painted one of his most renowned works, the Virgin Appearing to St. Bernard, for the family chapel of Piero del Pugliese in the monastery church of Le Campora at Marignolle near Florence. Pugliese appears at the lower right, near Bernard, who sits outdoors at a writing desk. Touching her breast with one hand and the page with the other, the Virgin enlivens Bernard’s text with the milk of wisdom. For the image of Bernard, Filippino looked to Botticelli’s St Augustine (Florence, Ognissanti). Filippino learnt from Hugo van der Goes’s Portinari Altarpiece, which entered Florence in May 1483, how to describe seasonal changes in nature and how to populate a hillside with anecdotal information. His landscape backgrounds were also influenced by Antonio del Pollaiuolo and by Hans Memling’s Virgin and Child with Angels (Florence, Uffizi).
