The Madonna of the Rabbit : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Madonna of the Rabbit
The ''Madonna of the Rabbit'' is an oil painting by Titian, dated to 1530 and now held in the Louvre in Paris. It is signed "Ticianus f." and is named after the white rabbit held in Mary's left hand. The rabbit is a symbol of fertility and - due to its whiteness - of Mary's purity and the mystery of the Incarnation, and is also a symbol of her Virginity; female rabbits and hares can conceive a second litter of offspring while still pregnant with the first, resulting in them being able to give birth seemingly without having been impregnated.〔Lumpkin, Susan; John Seidensticker (2011). Rabbits: The Animal Answer Guide. JHU Press. ISBN 0-8018-9789-0. p. 122.〕 ==History== Records show that Federico Gonzaga commissioned three paintings from Titian in 1529. One of these can with some security be identified with ''The Madonna of the Rabbit''. The painting's small format shows it was intended for private devotion. The painting also contains echoes of the artist's personal circumstances at the time - on 6 August 1530 his wife Cecilia died giving birth to their third child, Lavinia, who was then entrusted to Titian's sister Orsa (just as the Christ child in the painting is entrusted into another woman's hands, in this case Catherine of Alexandria). He was mourning and melancholic until at least October that year, as shown in the letters sent to Mantua by the ambassador Benedetto Agnello. It was acquired with the rest of the Gonzaga collection in 1627 by Charles I of England and on his execution sold at auction. It was acquired in 1665 by cardinal Richelieu and Louis XIV of France.
