"Piety". Oil on Board. Italian School, 18th Century

About the Item

The work presented here is a devotional painting, especially for its small format, probably intended for a private altar. It represents with a scenographic sense and deep dramatism the subject of the Piety, although it is expressed in a narrative way, without taking the image out of its context. Thus, instead of the usual iconography of Mary weeping with Christ dead in her lap before a pathetic dark background, we see the two protagonists in an abrupt landscape, in the second plane you can see the cross with the ladder still resting on it, And in the background the profile of the city of Jerusalem. And above all, Mary and Christ appear accompanied by St. John, an angel and a suffering figure that could be Mary Magdalene. The composition is therefore more complex, and although the Virgin does not appear in solitude yes is shown absent to those around her, dominated by pain, looking up and left hand towards the sky. In addition, in front of the personages we see the enormous nails, the crown of thorns and the cloth of the Veronica. These elements are clearly symbolic but at the same time narrative, as well as the dark figure that appears next to the hand of Christ, a small animal of probable symbolic meaning. · Size: 26 x 20 cm; 41 x 28 cm (frame).
