VITTORE CRIVELLI (active by 1465-died 1501/2)

Madonna and Child Enthroned with Two Angels and a Donor

Madonna and Child Enthroned with Two Angels and a Donor. Artist: Vittore Crivelli (Italian, Venice, active by 1465-died 1501/2 Fermo). Dimensions: Overall 54 x 25 3/4 in. (137.2 x 65.4 cm); painted surface 52 x 24 1/4 in. (132.1 x 61.5 cm). Date: 1481?. Vittore Crivelli was the younger, less talented brother of Carlo Crivelli and, like him, worked primarily in the region of the Marches in Italy. This work was the center of a multi-panel altarpiece. The donor, his hands clasped in prayer, may be Ludovico Vinci, a noble of the town of Fermo. He is known to have commissioned an altarpiece from the artist in 1481 for his chapel in the church of San Martino in Varano.
