This print of the “Blue Madonna” is made with archival pigments on acid-free fine art paper, rated to last 200 years when not hung in direct sunlight. These prints are beautiful today and are time capsules of the faith for future generations. “Blue Madonna” Artist: Carlo Dolci, 1616 -1686, Florence Carlo Dolci was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. According to the Ringling Museum, where this work of art is housed, Dolci once stated his "firm intention to paint only works that would inspire the fruits of Christian piety in those who saw them." He specialized in devotional works, and his works were extremely sought after during his lifetime. The museum says this about this painting: "The lush royal blue of this young Madonna's robe, reminiscent of El Greco's use of color to communicate spiritual life in his work, comprises most of the composition in this portrait. Beautiful in its simplicity with light from above is falling on her long narrow face, which appears to emerge supernaturally from the shadows of the rich blue fabric. Like Caravaggio and his followers, Dolci highlights the powerful presence of his subject and achieves a dramatic level of emotional engagement through contrasting light and dark in his work."
