Following the style of Bellini\u2019s Venetian school, Bissolo\u2019s work maintains the bold tones and brilliant light to define figures and achieve drama. Bissolo employs human emotion and expression popularized during the High Renaissance, as seen here in the tender connection between Mary and the infant Jesus. An atmospheric Italian landscape frames the pair, creating a familiar setting for the Renaissance audience. Bissolo creates an interesting duality in the Christ child\u2019s pose, as his right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing while his left fidgets with his mother\u2019s belt, creating an image of Christ as both divine and human.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"876\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/B.E.L.15-1024x876.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/B.E.L.15-1024x876.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/B.E.L.15-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/B.E.L.15-768x657.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/B.E.L.15.jpg 1317w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Francesco Bissolo (Italian, 1464-1528) <em>Madonna and Child, <\/em>16th century Oil on wood Extended Loan of Jeffrey Bishop 2015.BEL.14&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Curator&#039;s Corner :: Episode 4 :: Madonna and Child by Pier Francesco Bissolo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jJOwQfaKGyE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Curator&#8217;s Corner :: Episode 4 :: Madonna and Child by Pier Francesco Bissolo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Francesco Bissolo was a student of the Italian High Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini (ca. 1430-1516).
