{"product_id":"madonna-and-child-with-angels-vincenzo-foppa","title":"Madonna and Child with Angels - Vincenzo Foppa","description":"\u003cp\u003eA devotional tempera panel by Vincenzo Foppa, depicting the Madonna and Child surrounded by angels against a traditional gold-leaf background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVincenzo Foppa, a central figure of the Lombard school during the Quattrocento, produced this devotional panel during a period when Northern Italian painting began to reconcile traditional Gothic sensibilities with the emerging naturalism of the Renaissance. The composition features the Virgin Mary seated centrally, cradling the Christ Child, who rests upon her lap. They are surrounded by a group of musical and reading angels, creating a scene of quiet contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work employs a gold-leaf background, a characteristic choice that flattens the pictorial space and directs attention to the figures. Foppa demonstrates his technical approach through the careful modelling of the figures and the specific attention given to the drapery folds. The angels, positioned in a semi-circle, provide a sense of enclosure around the central pair. One angel plays a stringed instrument, while others engage with a codex, introducing a narrative element common in devotional art of this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoppa was known for his ability to integrate light and shadow to define form, a skill evident in the soft contours of the faces and the gentle interaction between the mother and child. The palette relies on muted earth tones, contrasted against the reflective gold ground. This piece reflects the transition from the rigid iconographic traditions of the medieval period toward the more humanistic representations that defined the later Renaissance in Milan. The panel remains a representative example of Foppa's output, demonstrating his influence on the development of painting in the Lombard region before the arrival of Leonardo da Vinci.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/marriage-of-the-virgin-luca-signorelli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMarriage of the Virgin - Luca Signorelli — Luca Signorelli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/noli-me-tangere-andrea-del-sarto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNoli Me Tangere - Andrea del Sarto — Andrea del Sarto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vincenzo Foppa","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58761546891599,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58761570484559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58761570517327,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58761570550095,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58761570582863,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58761570615631,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58761570648399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58761570681167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58761570713935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58761570746703,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58761570779471,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58761570812239,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Madonna-and-Child-with-Angels_Poster_CompositorV1_1789290992242.jpg?v=1789291827","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/madonna-and-child-with-angels-vincenzo-foppa","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
