Giacomo del Pisano

Giacomo del Pisano painted devout 15th-century altarpieces in the Italian tradition. His The Virgin and Child with Saints Peter and Mary Magdalene folds soft drapery and gentle figures into a gilded Gothic frame. The saints kneel on patterned tiles you can almost count, anchoring the scene in a church you’ve walked into but never seen.

Tap the painting to step closer, notice how the Child’s blessing hand is crooked, not stiff, a small life in the folds of fabric.
