Artsper’s best sellers
Gazing Ball (Perugino Madonna and Child with Four Saints) is a reenacted painting The Madonna in Glory with Saints by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Perugino made between 1500 and 1501. This sacral composition featuring the standardized theme at the time when the explorations of perspective were popular apparently fascinated Koons to such an extent that he felt it had to be part of the series.
Jeff Koons’ Gazing Ball (Perugino Madonna and Child with Four Saints) is a modern reinterpretation of a classic Renaissance painting, chosen for its spiritual subject and use of perspective. Koons includes a blue reflective ball to create a dialogue between the past and present, and between the artwork and the viewer.
