Polyptych with Saint James Major, Madonna and Child, and Saints (polyptych; Bartolomeo Vivarini (Italian, ca. 1432-1499) ; 1490; J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, Los Angeles county, Calif...; 71.PB.30) | |
Note: Bartolomeo Vivarini's paintings were noted for their use of bright, dissonant colors and figures that resemble sculptures or wood carvings. This polyptych, made for a parish church dedicated to Saint James the Greater in northern Italy, depicts Saint James in the center, holding a pilgrim's staff with the symbolic scallop shell and a book. The themes of martyrdom and pilgrimage are strongly represented in this polyptych. The central saint, Saint John Major, holds a pilgrim's staff and shell, references to a famous pilgrimage site dedicated to him, Santiago de Compostela; pilgrimage sites were also dedicated to several other of the saints depicted. | |
