Madonna and Child with Saints Luke and Catherine of Alexandria : ウィキペディア英語版 | Madonna and Child with Saints Luke and Catherine of Alexandria
The ''Madonna and Child with Saints Luke and Catherine of Alexandria'', also known simply as ''Holy Conversation'', is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Titian. It is one of his several versions of the canonical image of the Madonna and Child. Executed in oil on canvas, it was painted around 1560, at the height of Titian's career. In 2011, the painting achieved the highest auction price ever for one of Titian's works, at $16.9 million.〔(BBC:Titian Madonna and Child sells for record $16.9m, 28.1.2011 )〕 The painting was sold by Gerlinda Kisters, who had inherited it from her husband, Heinz Kisters, who died in 1977.〔(NY Times: Potential Titian Buyers Get an Advance Look )〕 ==Description== The ''Madonna and Child with Saints Luke and Catherine of Alexandria'' is a mature work executed when Titian was at the height of his artistic powers and fame. Christ is depicted as a playful baby, slightly off balance as He tips forward with arms outstretched towards Catherine, who in turn leans gently towards Him.〔(ArtDaily.com: Sotheby's to Offer Most Important Work by Titian to Appear at Auction in Nearly Twenty Years )〕 It is suggested that members of Titian's Venice workshop probably painted the curtain and Luke, because of the lower quality of those parts.〔(Art and the Bible )〕
