Description   

The first Netherlandish painter known to have studied classical sculpture in Rome, Gossaert achieved a sophisticated fusion of Renaissance vocabulary and traditional Netherlandish style and form. The Virgin's classicizing draperies and the Child's athletic figure show Gossaert's command of the new Renaissance style. At the same time, the way the Virgin presents the Child, his glance, and his blessing gesture all suggest that the painting was once paired with another panel on the right depicting a donor in prayer. This type of private folding altarpiece was favored by earlier Netherlandish painters.
