After SANDRO BOTTICELLI (Italian, 1444-1510)
Madonna of the Magnificat, 19th Century
Oil on canvas
50-1/4 inches (127.6 cm) diameter
Signed verso: P. Fossi / copio
This painting is a beautifully rendered copy of Botticelli's Madonna of the Magnificat (1481, Uffizi Gallery, Florence) with a nearly life-size figure of the Virgin being crowned by two angels. The crown is represented as a delicate piece of goldsmith's work comprised of innumerable stars, an allusion to the "Stella matutina" (morning star), a name to which Mary is referred in hymns dedicated to her.
