Virgin Mary and the Infant Jesus with Saints and Angel

Lorenzo d'Alessandro, a painter from San Severino Marche in the central Italian region of Le Marche, created this devotional panel around 1480. Working in a provincial context, Lorenzo absorbed influences from Crivelli, who was active in the neighboring region, and from the Umbrian school. His work represents the rich local painting traditions that flourished in smaller Italian cities during the Renaissance.

Tempera on panel with the decorative gold-ground tradition typical of provincial Marches painting. The figure style blends Crivelliesque linearity with Umbrian softness, reflecting the artist's dual sources of influence.
