Which Picture Is The Old Master - Heated Controversy rages among London art experts over two pictures looking alike. Each side claims the original pictures and claims the other is a worthless fake. Picture One, at the left, has hung 30 years in London's national gallery described as "The virgin and child with an angel - the earliest known work of the 16th century Italian master Francesco Francia". Picture Two, right, was bought recently by ***** leonard koetser of duke street, Mayfair, at a London sale of the picture of the Honourable G. Morgan-Grenville, of Wootton Bedfordshire, Koetser paid £6,300. December 13, 1954, (Photo by Associated Press Photo).

Madonna and Child Enthroned with Angels. Artist: Master of Varlungo (Italian, Florentine, active ca. 1285-ca. 1310). Dimensions: Overall 51 1/4 x 32 5/8 in. (130.2 x 82.9 cm); painted surface 50 1/4 x 28 in. (127.6 x 71.1 cm).Painted about 1290, this charming painting is typical of the simply shaped panels that served as altarpieces before the advent of the multi-panel Gothic polyptych. The artist was a modest follower of Cimabue who, in his engaging way, attempts to keep pace with the innovations of Duccio and Giotto. The Child's gesture--"as if he wanted to distract his mother from her melancholy" (Hans Belting)--occurs in French Gothic ivories and has "been transferred from the iconography of love to that of religious motifs." Another scholar notes that the artist's work--populist in character--begs to be interpreted in human rather than purely artistic terms. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

This painting, which dates to about 1460, was made for the chapel of the Medici (later Medici-Riccardi) whichwas decorated by Benozzo Gozzoli.It does not just depict the Adoration of the Child, it also shows the Holy Trinity. God the Father, the Holy Spirit and Christ are united on the painting and represent the conception of the Holy Trinity held by the Western Church: the Holy Spirit emanates from the Father and Son.

Virgin and Child in a niche. Artist: Luca della Robbia (Italian, 1399/1400-1482 Florence). Culture: Italian, Florence. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 18 5/8 × 15 1/4 × 3 1/2 in., 29 lb. (47.3 × 38.7 × 8.9 cm, 13.2 kg). Date: ca. 1460.One of the most distinguished sculptors of the early Renaissance, Luca della Robbia created famous works in marble, such as the Cantoria (Singing Choir) for the organ loft of Florence Cathedral, and in bronze, such as the doors of the North Sacristy of the same church. His name is, however, most closely identified -- and indeed nearly synonymous with -- sculpture in tin-glazed terracotta. In this medium he specialized in images of the Madonna and Child, particularly for private devotions, and began a practice of reproducing them in casts, which members of his family and large workshop continued into the sixteenth century.The Bliss Madonna, a glazed terracotta known in one other example (see below), is a quintessential Luca della Robbia work.

Kneeling Virgin. Artist: Attributed to Paolo Aquilano (Italian, Abruzzo, active ca. 1475-1503) (Sculptor of the Berlin Enthroned Virgin). Culture: Italian. Dimensions: Overall: 46 1/8 x 31 1/2 x 19 3/4 in., 63lb. (117.2 x 80 x 50.2 cm, 28576.6g). Date: ca. 1475-1500.The Virgin kneels and looks down tenderly, indicating that once, an image of the baby Jesus was next to her and that this sculpture may have formed part of a group representing the story of Christmas. The undulating planes of the Virgin's cheeks are subtly modeled to suggest both supple flesh and underlying bone structure. The combination of certain details--the tight belt cinching the waist, the gathered folds of the skirt, and the sophisticated coiffure with the hairline shaved to produce a high forehead--are typical Renaissance characteristics that contrast with those of the Late Gothic sculptures in this gallery.Its attribution to Paolo Aquilano is based on stylistic affinities with a signed and dated terracotta scul
