Master of the Straus Madonna
Master of the Straus Madonna is a Gothic painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This Italian artist painted small, jewel-like devotional panels in the late 1300s, full of delicate gold leaf and tender expressions. Look at the Virgin and Child from 1397, her blue robe glows against the patterned background, while the baby clutches a scroll like a tiny scholar. Flip to the Virgin and Child with Music-Making Angels to hear the soft notes of the angels’ instruments drift across the gilt surface.
Tap into the Virgin and Child (1397) to step closer and see how the paint still holds its glow after six centuries.
