Madonna della Loggia (Madonna and Child) Sandro Botticelli Original Title: Madonna della Loggia Alternative name: Madonna della Loggia (Botticelli) Date: 1467 Style: Early Renaissance Genre: religious painting Media: Tempera on panel Dimensions: 50 x 72 cm Location: Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy
The Madonna della Loggia is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, dating to c. 1467. A tempera on panel work, it is located in the Uffizi, Florence, Italy.
The theme of the Madonna and Child embracing, which was extremely widespread in the sculpture and painting of the Quattrocento, is derived from a Byzantine pictorial type. What is new here is the motif of the loggia, which still makes a rather flat impression behind the figures, although the even fall of the light is attempting to integrate it properly into the scene.
In this and a series of similar paintings, the young artist was trying out the repertoire of motifs associated with the theme of the Madonna and Child.
