Madonna and Child, Tempera on wood, gold ground, Overall, with arched top and engaged (modern) frame, 32 3/8 x 18 7/8 in. (82.2 x 47.9 cm); painted surface 28 1/2 x 17 in. (72.4 x 43.2 cm), Paintings, Guariento di Arpo (Italian, active Padua by 1338–died 1368/70), Guariento was a leading painter in Padua and Venice in the third quarter of the fourteenth century and this is among his most charming works. The composition, with the Madonna displaying her swaddled child to the viewer, repeats an earlier, much venerated image in Padua, and there can be little doubt that this added to the picture’s devotional impact
