Gerard DAVID Archangel Gabriel - The Virgin Annunciate c.1510

via

Né Gheeraedt, ou Geerart Janszoon, à Oudewater vers 1450, Gérard David semble avoir pris le prénom de son père David comme patronyme peu après son inscription à la guilde des imagiers et selliers de Bruges en 1484. Peintre, dessinateur et probablement miniaturiste classifié parmi les primitifs flamands, il est mort à Bruges le 13 août 1523.

Gerard David (c.1450-1523) was an Early Netherlandish painter and manuscript illuminator known for his brilliant use of color. Only a bare outline of his life survives, although some facts are known. He may have been the "Meester gheraet van brugghe" who became a master of the Antwerp guild in 1515. He was very successful in his lifetime and probably ran two workshops, in Antwerp and Bruges. His reputation diminished in the 17th century until he was rediscovered in the 19th century.

Maestro delle Storie del Pane - Husband and Wife of the Gozzadini Family c.1495


via

This portrait and its pendant represent a husband and wife of the Gozzadini family of Bologna; the family's coat of arms appears prominently in both paintings. The inscribed architectural frieze in the background, which runs across both panels, attests to the commemorative function of the portraits: Probably made to celebrate a betrothal or marriage, the portraits contain numerous allusions to love and matrimony, such as the spray of flowers, known as pinks, held by the male sitter, and the fruit (perhaps a quince) held by his wife. The pelican and phoenix at lower left of the male portrait refer respectively to charity and resurrection - Christian virtues here associated with the sacrament of marriage. In the lower right corner of the female portrait are two rabbits and a girl confronting a unicorn, the former connoting fecundity and the latter chastity.
