Vertigo Masaccio’s Madonna and Child with Angels Too little have I seen of subduing particulars by shadow. Too little have I seen how highlight beckons to highlight, how color is free to build kinship, how light’s consistent flow is compromised. Too much have I loved of bodies catching light, how the space they live in is our own – too little seen bright flesh enflame the gold-work of the background.
