The Virgin and Child with Four Holy Virgins — Master of the Virgo inter Virgines

Master of the Virgo inter Virgines. Painted c. 1495 - c. 1500.

This painting is an ode to chastity. The Virgin sits in an enclosed garden, a symbol of virginity, surrounded by four other virgins (‘virgo inter virgines’). From attributes on their necklaces, they are identifiable as Saint Catherine with a wheel and sword, Saint Cecilia with an organ, Saint Barbara with a tower and Saint Ursula with a heart and arrow.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Main building, Christian art in the Netherlands, Middle Ages and Renaissance.
