Workshop of Ambrosius Benson


Workshop of Ambrosius Benson - Dipinti antichi

(Lombardy c. 1495–1550 Flanders)
The Madonna and Child in a Rose Garden
oil on canvas, 98 x 80 cm, framed

The present composition of the Madonna and Child is based on a lost model by Rogier van der Weyden known from a drawing in the Dresden Collection of Prints and Drawings. The intimate bond between the mother and child inspired such painters of the following generation as Adriaen Isenbrant and Ambrosius Benson. Most of the versions known to date show the figures against a plain, monochrome backdrop, whereas the so-called “Madonna of the Rose Garden” represents a rare and more elaborate variant associated with Ambrosius Benson and his workshop. A variation from Benson’s workshop closely related to the present painting was formerly preserved in the Thaw Collection, New York. The present painting differs from the latter in details of the rose garden and in the ornaments of the garment.
