The Madonna Enthroned

Ludovico Brea created this work around 1494 during the High Renaissance period. The painting reflects the artistic traditions of its time and place, contributing to the rich tapestry of European painting that characterized the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. His altarpieces project a devotional warmth that made them ideal for the churches of the Ligurian and Provençal coastal communities.
