The softness of colour and the gentleness return in this painting.
Полнота форм, широкие круглящиеся объёмы, насыщенность цвета - все это, безусловно, характерные черты позднего творчества Беллини.
Как и менее тесная связь Матери и Сына, когда Богородица более не прижимает к себе Младенца в горячем порыве любви, а спокойно представляет Его взорам зрителей для поклонения.
Yet another variation on a theme that was among the dearest to the painter, this is probably its last fully autograph version, although some critics consider it the work of the workshop.
On the contrary, the expanded forms, the curvilinear widening of the volumes and the chromatic intensity are all elements that unequivocally point to the last phase of Bellini's career, as is the more relaxed connection between mother and child,
where Virgin does not hold the Child closely to Her in an attitude of yearning affection, but proffers it quietly to the adoration of the spectator.
