In this first series of Five on Five we’re asking five painters to speak about a painting that has influenced, inspired or resonated with them. In this episode Prudence Flint reflects on Virgin and Child (1455-60) by Dieric Bouts.
As you listen, you can see in the painting (reproduced above) that Flint is drawn toward the maternal and erotic nature of the work, alongside its nostalgic resonance.
This is the final episode of Five on Five: Painter Series and you can listen to past episodes with Kate Beynon, Peter Waples-Crowe, Kylie Banyard and Huseyin Sami. To stay tuned for future Five on Five series and interview podcasts, subscribe to the Art Guide podcast on iTunes.
