REFLECTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS AROUND THE FACE OF OUR LADY OF 'MERCY' "
-you note: the Virgin's head down and not turn our eyes to the public.
-face does not express pain or suffering ... but resignation; is not destroyed by the pain but seems aware, fully conscious of the fulfillment of a destiny inevitable and announced.
-perfection of the pose and facial review of the Virgin expresses the overcoming of earthly features and achieve the beauty ideal (remember that she knew for some time that His Son had to die to rise again) and then experienced a pain for some time.
-the fact that Madonna has a very young face has caused no little stir at the time and left room for different interpretations, one of which is suggested by the words of Michelangelo himself to his biographer Ascanio Condivi: "Chastity, the holiness and incorruption preserve the youth. "
-looking extreme youth of the mother, in comparison to his son, one might think that Michelangelo, stressing the chastity of her, would symbolize her purity, with its eternal youth.
-have achieved this with a facial expression and with these features may be purely a gesture of utmost respect and devotion to the Madonna, Michelangelo offers you having to enhance it in a work: to portray the Mother of God Beautiful, young and resigned in his immense Love, also remove the ugliness of a face tormented by pain and suffering of a mother who loses a child.
The perfection of the Virgin's face led me to study the case painting on porcelain in technical Square Shaders caressing the features that the Grand Master decided to do.
do not know if I get the idea with the words, but they are fragile and fleeting thoughts that were racing in the mind of every artist ... considerations that are important to achieve the realization of a work ....
