One of the best examples of the Gothic international style constitutes it the Altarpiece of the Virgin of the Milk.This altarpiece consists of allusive tables to the adoration of the Kings and the adoration of the angels. In all of them the Virgin is giving of breast. But it is interested in emphasizing the central table in to that can be observed a Virgin who gives milk to the devout ones,among which a child stands out that, far from sucking of his mother, is hanging of gathering milk of the Virgin .The devouts use jars and containers to guard so valued food. |
