Original – Antonello da Messina was one of Sicily's best known painters - but his works shows strong influences from Early Netherlandishs painting. Why nobody knows. The love of exquisite details is anyway, there. The pomegranate is symbolizing the Passion of Christ
Reason
Unusual Madonna by the Italian Renaissance master Antonello da Messina. The name derives from the collector George Salting, the donor who gave the painting to the National Gallery, London, in 1910. The golden crown above her head with the two angels; one wearing a red robe, the other one a green robe, with the funny wings is indicating a depiction of her as the Queen of Heaven.
