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, discussing how she’s drawn toward the maternal and erotic nature of the painting, alongside its nostalgic resonance. To view the painting as you listen along, head to Art Guide online: https://artguide.com.au/five-on-five-prudence-flint-on-dieric-bouts-virgin-and-child. Prudence Flint is a Melbourne-based painter. She is a finalist in this year's Archibald Portrait Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and will have a solo show at Bett Gallery in Hobart from 16 November - 7 December 2018.
