Gerard Seghers, Sacra Conversazione

The Museum of Foreign Art Sinebrychoff, Helsinki

 

Gerard Seghers (1591–1651)

 

In art, a sacra conversazione meaning holy/sacred conversation, but usually left in Italian, is a depiction of the Virgin and Child amidst a group of saints in a relatively informal grouping, as opposed to the more rigid and hierarchical compositions of earlier periods.
