Which Italian symbolist artist painted 'Madonna of the Lilies'?
Gaetano Previati (1852-1920) was an Italian symbolist who painted many artworks on a religious theme, particularly involving Catholic ideals. 'Madonna of the Lilies', which originally had the shorter title 'Madonna', shows the Virgin Mary in a seated position with the Baby Jesus on her lap. This religious iconography has been around since the 15th century, although the Virgin is usually shown seated on a throne.
Whilst Previati was influenced by tradition, he used a Divisionist style. Divisionism involved separating colours into dots or dashes, although slightly subtler than Pointillism.
The title 'Madonna of the Lilies' has been used by other artists working on a similar theme. Although Previati’s painting also contains the theme of motherhood, its Catholic connection is a stronger subject. The lilies represent chastity and purity.
Previati was born in Ferrara but relocated to Milan in 1876. He studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts where he became familiar with the Divisionist style. In 1909, he published a treatise on 'I principi scientifici del Divisionismo' (The scientific principles of Divisionism).
