Long thought lost and only recently identified, Madonna of the Cherries is among Netherlandish artist Quentin Metsys’s most beautiful and celebrated paintings. In this talk, curator Anne Woollett introduces the rediscovered painting to the public for the first time. Using a wide array of illustrations, Woollett unveils the fascinating history— including an intriguing relationship to Leonardo da Vinci—and symbolism of one of Getty’s newest acquisitions.
