Portrait of Madonna at Prayer - Italian Old Master art religious oil painting

Circa 1790

About the Item

This rather special Italian Old Master religious portrait oil painting is attributed to a follower of Giovanni Battista Salvi, or Sassoferrato as he is better known. Painted circa 1790 it is a head and shoulder portrait of the Madonna at prayer, hands together eyes cast down. She is dressed in a vibrant blue cloak and pink dress, her head and neck cover in a cream shawl. The image stand out beautifully against a dark background, giving it an ethereal look. The detail of her facial features are just lovely. The painting is housed in a fine Empire frame which really finishes the painting off perfectly. This is a really beautiful 18th century Italian Old Master religious portrait oil painting and in good condition for its age. Provenance. Glasgow estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 24 inches by 18 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a gilt Empire frame, 32 inches by 26 inches and in good condition. Giovanni Battista Salvi (1609-1685), also known as Sassoferrato, was an Italian Baroque painter, known for his archaizing commitment to Raphael's style.

  • Portrait of a Young Gentleman - Dutch Old Master 17thC art portrait oil painting
    Located in London, GB
    This superb Dutch Old Master portrait oil painting is attributed as by a follower of Dutch 17th century artist Gerrard van Honthorst. The original of this painting hangs in Wilton House, Wiltshire, home to the 18th Earl and Countess of Pembrokeshire. The painting was previously attributed to Van Dyck by early cataloguers, but after exhaustive comparisons with the two Honthorst brothers' works, it was concluded that Gerrard van Honthorst was the artist who painted the original in Wilton House. Our painting was painted circa 1695 by a follower of Gerrard Honthorst. It was sold to us as circle of Cornelius Johnson. The sitter is Prince Rupert of the Rhine, Duke of Cumberland, Earl of Holderness (1619-1682). He was an English army officer, admiral, scientist, and colonial governor. He first came to prominence as a Royalist cavalry commander during the English Civil War. Rupert was the third son of the German...

  • (Slavic School, 19th Century) A Large Oil Painting "Saints Cyril and Methodius"
    Located in New York, NY
    (Slavic School, 19th Century) A Large Oil Painting "Saints Cyril and Methodius" Very good quality painting, and subject. Painted by a master, apparently unsigned. Cyril (born Constantine, 826–869) and Methodius (815–885) were two brothers and Byzantine Christian theologians and missionaries. For their work evangelizing the Slavs, they are known as the "Apostles to the Slavs". They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe Old Church Slavonic. After their deaths, their pupils continued their missionary work among other Slavs. Both brothers are venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church as saints with the title of "equal-to-apostles". In 1880, Pope Leo XIII...
