Madonna and Child, St Francis of Assisi 1472

Carlo Crivelli's "Madonna and Child, St Francis of Assisi" (1472) is a diptych that exemplifies the artist's signature style. Known for his meticulous detail and use of perspective, Crivelli depicts the Madonna and Child in the left panel, and St. Francis, a Franciscan monk, on the right. The figures are framed by ornate, gilded frames with intricate patterns, adding a sense of architectural grandeur to the work. This painting is a prime example of the Venetian Renaissance period, showcasing the artist's mastery of oil painting and attention to realism.
