Madonna of the Red Cherubims
The Madonna of the Red Cherubims is an oil on panel painting by Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini, executed around 1485.
Stylistic elements such as the child on one of the Virgin's knees, and the mutual glance, suggest that the work was based on Bellini's "Alzano Madonna" in the same museum.
Description.
The Virgin and Child are portrayed as a bust in the foreground, above a typical landscape with towers, castles and a fluvial inlet with a small boat
hymns.
This Madonna is generally considered a model of later works, such as the "Madonna of the Red Cherubims" or the "Madonna of the Small Trees", both in the Accademia Carrara.
