Pier Francesco FOSCHI (1502–1567), follower of Madonna and Child Oil on panel. H_82.5 cm W_61 cm Flaking and losses. Related works: Pier Francesco FOSCHI, Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist (location unknown) Benvenuto Tisi, known as Il Carofalo, Virgin and Child before a Curtain with a Mountainous Landscape in the Background, oil on panel, 75.3 × 56.4 cm, Sotheby’s New York auction, January 30, 2014 The artist of this painting chose to depict the Virgin in a posture of support and protection toward Christ. Modest and majestic, the Madonna holds her son standing on her lap, a fairly common iconographic motif in 16th-century Italy, used by artists such as Pier Francesco Foschi, a pupil of Andrea del Sarto, and Benvenuto Tisi. The bright red hue of the young woman’s dress also reveals the influence of Mannerism, which, under the impetus of artists such as Michelangelo, Correggio, Pontormo, and Rosso Fiorentino, became one of the major Italian movements of the High Renaissance.
