Virgin and Child with a Dragonfly ca. 1500 Master of Saint Giles Netherlandish/French Mary, the picture of serene radiance, gazes down at her child as he delicately holds a thread, which itself entraps a dragonfly. Further reinforcing the insect's captivity, Christ uses his thumb and index finger to ensnare the winged creature, which was understood as a symbol of the devil to contemporary viewers. The painting thus functions as a reminder of Christs triumph over Satan and his offering of salvation through his incarnation, death and resurrection. The green background is a later addition to the scene that covers areas of damage to the painting's paper support.. Virgin and Child with a Dragonfly. Master of Saint Giles (Netherlandish and French, active ca. 1500). Netherlandish and French. ca. 1500. Oil and tempera (?) on paper laid down on oak panel. Paintings
