17th Century Holy Family Italian School Madonna and Child Oil on Canvas Blue

About the Item

Examining with interest this "Sacred Scene" from the end of the 1500s/beginning of the 17th century (oil painting on canvas, 32 x 26 cm without frame and 40 x 33 cm with frame) representing the Madonna supporting the Infant Jesus on her knees, S. Giovannino with the lamb of god, I can say that it is a Cremona school close to the Panfilo Nuvolone. The figures are arranged against the background of a generic colorful landscape, fresh and with a great perspective which makes the painting, albeit small, lovable and fresh. The domestic familiarity with which this scene is presented is expressed by a loving language and a calibrated expository cadence, adhering to the Lombard classicist current of the second decade ( maximum ) of the seventeenth century. This work shines for its formal rigor mixed with a nonchalant ease of execution; sharp and varied cues, loving and delicate gestures emerge clearly on the canvas thanks to skilful luminous contrasts and the development of the canvas, calm and cordial in the form but strong and disruptive in the colors and in the strength of love as can be seen in the gaze deeply imbued with love of the Madonna for the child and for the sweetness of the emotional, empathetic and physical exchange of Jesus with San Giovannino and for the tranquility of the lamb on the left. It should be noted the safe tracing of the brushstrokes, almost drawn and strongly illuminated which reveal a graphic preparation and a cultured and erudite pictorial conduct and with a remarkable skill in knowing how to render the drapery and their movements that make me think of Panfilo Nuvolone (Cremona 1580 - 1630).
