Pictor necunoscut

Pictor necunoscut is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Timișoara National Museum of Art.

This unknown hand painted a tender, flat-image Madonna and Child, typical of late medieval or early Renaissance religious art. The Virgin and baby Jesus sit close together, painted in soft golds and earthy colors without shadows or depth. Look for the halos in gold leaf—small details that catch the light. Next, tap the golden halo to see how artists layered colors to make it glow.
