Frame
The frame is made of high-quality wood, which ensures durability and premium quality. With a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 3 cm, it provides a strong yet elegant frame for paintings of various sizes. A classic frame with a rich golden tone, designed to complement works of art from various periods, including Renaissance to Baroque, and even classical 19th century art. Its exquisite detail and traditional color make it an ideal choice for classic portraits, landscapes and still lifes in warm tones, enhancing the historical and aesthetic value of such works of art.
While the chief influence on Alberegno was his experience of the artists working in Padua, Giusto de' Menabuoi in particular, Niccolò di Pietro absorbed influences from even further afield, from Emilia to the Rhineland and Bohemia. The result of this tendency to be interested in what was happening in other cultural centres was that Niccolò di Pietro from 1494 (the date on the Madonna and Child and a Devotee') became the most important Venetian artist working during the period of transition to International Gothic style. In this panel the traditional iconography is respected, even to the miniscule proportions of the figure of Vulciano Belgarzone da Zara who commissioned the painting, kneeling at the feet of the Virgin. But the decorative abstraction of Paolo Veneziano no less than the refined elegance of Lorenzo Veneziano have now gone for ever and in their place is a confident human sense which pervades every figure represented plastically within a composition conceived with precise intentions of rendering a definite spacial entity.
