| Van Eyck's representation of the Virgin in the Rolin Madonna is based on a tradition of images known as the Throne of Wisdom or Sedes Sapientiae, in which the Christ Child sits very formally in the lap of His mother. The image on the left is from Chartres Cathedral. It exemplifies a twelfth century version of the image. | ||
