Jan van Eyck, Lucca Madonna, 1436. Oil on panel, 65.7 x 49.6 cm. Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt, Germany
The Lucca Madonna is an oil painting by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck, painted in approximately 1437.[1] It shows Mary seated on a wooden throne and crowned by a canopy, breastfeeding the infant Christ.[2] Its carpentry suggests it was once the inner panel of a triptych, while its small size indicates it was meant for private devotion. The painting is in the collection of the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
It is known as Lucca Madonna as it belonged to the collection of Charles II, Duke of Parma and Lucca in the early 19th century. It is one of the latest works by Jan van Eyck. The Virgin has been identified as a portrait of the painters's wife, Margaretha, of whom van Eyck also made a secular portrait.[3]
