An Entity of Type: artwork, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Madonna of the Dry Tree or Our Lady of the Barren Tree are names given to a small 14.7 centimetres (5.8 in) x 12.4 centimetres (4.9 in) oil-on-oak panel painting dated c. 1462–1465 by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. Unusually dark and dramatic for the mid-15 century, it shows the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, who holds an orb crowned with a cross, standing on a disembodied dead tree trunk, surrounded by withered branches that encircle them to form a crown of thorns. It was unattributed and largely unknown until 1919, when it was examined by the art historian Grete Ring while in a private collection. She first attributed Christus and through analysis of its iconography, assigned its current title.

  • Madonna of the Dry Tree or Our Lady of the Barren Tree are names given to a small 14.7 centimetres (5.8 in) x 12.4 centimetres (4.9 in) oil-on-oak panel painting dated c. 1462–1465 by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus.

It was unattributed and largely unknown until 1919, when it was examined by the art historian Grete Ring while in a private collection. She first attributed Christus and through analysis of its iconography, assigned its current title. Because of its late discovery, its commission and meaning is relatively understudied by art historians. The panel's size indicates it was intended for private meditation and devotion. Its stark and haunting imagery is thought to be derived from the Book of Ezekiel, with the Dry Tree (or solitary tree) representing a withered and dead version of the Garden of Eden's Tree of Knowledge, brought back to life by presence of the Virgin and Christ. The 15 golden "A"s hanging from its branches may represent the first letter of the Angelic Salutation, the Ave Maria. The painting may further draw from the beliefs of elite Confraternity of Our Lady of the Dry Tree of Bruges, which Christus and his wife Gaudicine joined so as to integrate themselves into the city's upper realms of society, having moved to the city.
