Note 493 — Chapter XI · THE MEYER MADONNA AND THE DEPARTURE FOR ENGLAND
Reading edition
Dr. Ganz points out the resemblance between this picture and Mantegna’s “Madonna of Victory” in the Louvre. In the latter the kneeling suppliants are also protected by the Virgin’s cloak, and the movement of her hand, outstretched in benediction over Gonzaga’s head, is just the same as that of the Infant Christ in the Meyer votive picture (Holbein, p. xxviii.).
