Virgin of the Milk (Virgen de la leche), Circle of Gil de Siloe, c. 1500, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

seated figure of Mary with long, thick brown hair, wearing rich robes of gold, blue and red, holding nude baby Jesus on her lap, breastfeeding; Jesus’ brown hair is styled in ringlets close to his head This medieval sculpture of the Virgin Mary breastfeeding her son is unexpectedly naturalistic for its time. Milk was considered refined blood from the mother’s womb, and images of the Virgin breastfeeding the Christ child had theological significance. It was thought the Virgin’s milk, like the blood of Jesus on the cross, had redemptive properties. Size: 31 ¼ x 23 x 16 ½ in. (79.38 x 58.42 x 41.91 cm) (approx.) Medium: Polychromed wood

Pieter van der Willigen - Still Life with skull, book, pipe, caraf, and hour-glass - ca. 1655

Pieter van der Willigen (17 December 1634 – 8 June 1694) was a Flemish Baroque painter.

According to Cornelis de Bie, he was born in Bergen op Zoom and was a good still-life painter. According to the RKD, he became a pupil of Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert in 1652, was a member of the Guild of St. Luke from 1655 to 1669, and became poorter in Antwerp in 1661. He is known as a still-life painter who influenced David Bailly. In 1662 his brother Jan van der Willigen was his pupil. He died in Antwerp.

Many paintings formerly attributed to him have been re-attributed to Hendrick Andriessen, especially those with a wreath of straw on top of a skull. Today very few works remain that can be attributed to him, though De Bie wrote a page-long poem about his “still” paintings, and Houbraken also included a poem about his still-life paintings from another source.
