Gold is used in two ways on the panel painting of the Madonna. Cracked gold paint largely imitates the surface of the gold objects, such as, for example, the clasps on the Virgin Mary’s cloak. In this instance, plated gold is used for surfaces processed in relief. The technique is called brocading, and it finds inspiration in the structure of expensive contemporary textiles, especially in brocade, after which it is named. The treatment thus changes the panel into a precious gilded work.
