Madonna in Glory by Carlo Dolci Fleece Deken

Madonna in Glory c1665-75 by Italian Painter Carlo Dolci (1616 - 1686); was a painter of the Baroque period and was known for his highly finished religious artwork. This is a Christian Art portrait of Mary Magdalene or the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus with the light of GOD upon her. Dolci use of color, light and shadow creates a beautiful soft and endearing religious art piece; as she stands on the clouds and surrounder by more clouds with a warn orange glow behind her head accented by a circular array of stars; of which eight are visible to the viewer. She is dressed simply with a dark kerchief over her head, a read under garment that cover over with a blue top dress and lastly a dark grey mesh scarf lays across her chest from shoulder to shoulder. To complement this piece I created an elaborate yet beautiful embossed border with gold tones and added the title of the artwork Madonna in Glory at the bottom.
