Artist
Francesco di Gentile
Francesco di Gentile is an Early Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Philadelphia Museum of Art. Francesco di Gentile was born in Fabriano.
Italian painter Francesco di Gentile made delicate altar panels in the 1400s. His Virgin and Child with a Pomegranate shows the Madonna holding the Christ child while he clutches a ripe pomegranate, a symbol of life and future passion. The soft folds of fabric and calm colors fit the gentle style of the time. Tap the pomegranate to zoom in and see how the light catches its glossy skin.
