From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Madonna in a Rosary with Saints is a 1500 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Rosary, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows Mary holding baby Jesus. Saints kneel beside them, their halos glowing gold. A rosary lies at Mary’s feet. Woodcuts were printed from carved wood blocks, then colored by hand. This one used red, ochre, green, gray and tan. The colors look soft now, but once stood out bright. Look for more woodcuts in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
