Diodato Massimo

Diodato Massimo is a Post-Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Belvedere.

Diodato Massimo painted quiet, devotional scenes in oil. His Madonna and Child (1885) shows the Virgin in soft light, holding a calm baby Jesus. Next to it hangs Joseph and Child (1886), where Joseph cradles the same child, both framed in gentle brushstrokes.

The works belong to the late 1800s religious tradition, think family portraits, but sacred. Tap Madonna and Child to zoom in and study the way light catches the folds in Mary’s veil.
