FLARED SKIRT - Madonna and Child Enthroned with Four Saints and Eighteen Angels, 1354

This flared skirt translates the compositional grace of a 14th-century Byzantine masterpiece into wearable form. The design draws from "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Four Saints and Eighteen Angels"—a work celebrated for its hierarchical symmetry and devotional intensity.

The silhouette's gentle flare echoes the painting's balanced geometry, while the elastic waistband ensures comfort without compromise. Ideal for collectors who seek garments that function as cultural artifacts, merging historical reverence with contemporary ease.

NOTE:  The original Masterpiece titled "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Four Saints and Eighteen Angels" was created during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance era in 1354.  Two artists combined efforts to create this alterpiece: Puccio Nuzi, and Allegretto Nuzi.  This altarpiece was made for a church dedicated to Saint Anthony Abbot, who appears in the left panel, and also again as one of the four saints gathered with the angels at the throne of the Virgin and Child.  This Masterpiece is presently on view at the National Gallery of Art in N.Y.
