Pietà of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon Square Sticker

Pietà of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon Square Sticker

Pietà of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon is an oil painting of the mid-15th century that is considered one of the outstanding works of art of the late Middle Ages. Following its appearance at an exhibition in 1904 its authorship was disputed, though it has since been accepted as the work of Enguerrand Quarton. The Pietà, where the dead Christ is supported by his grieving mother, is a common theme of late-mediaeval religious art, but this is one of the most striking depictions, "perhaps the greatest masterpiece produced in France in the 15th century" (Edward Lucie-Smith). It is distinctive from previous depictions of the subject—which were often chraacterised by overt displays of grief and trauma—by virtue of its restraint. The composition is stable, with the Virgin's hands together in prayer, rather than clutching the body of Christ. The curved back form of Christ's body is highly original, and the stark, motionless dignity of the other figures is very different from Italian or Netherlandish depictions. The style of the painting is unique for its time: the grouping of the figures appears somewhat primitive, yet the conception evidences both great breadth and delicacy, the latter quality especially evident in the specificity of the portraits and the elegant gesture of St. John's hands at Christ's head.

These stickers are great quality, they are of an adequate thickness the glue doesn’t leave a lot of residue if you need to peel it off. The size is perfect and the design has a softness with the beautiful flowers around the edges. The black lettering on the white background is sharp. It stands out beautifully. I love the Mixture of font styles as it catches the eye.
