About the Item

Adele Pinot (1848), from Guido Reni (Bologna, 1575 -1642) Madonna in adoration of the sleeping Child Oil on canvas, 97 x 107 cm Signed at lower right "Adele Pinot 1848" The canvas under consideration depicts the Madonna and Child, caught in a moment of great tenderness and intimacy. Wrapped in brilliant luminosity, the baby Jesus is depicted in the foreground comfortably reclining on some soft drapes. The face appears serenely asleep and is framed by blond ringlets; the complexion is snow-white, and the legs, barely curled up and slightly bent at knee height, help to accentuate the naturalness and sweetness of the composition. Full of tenderness and maternal love appears the figure of Our Lady, with delicate features and a head covered by a veil, who, placed in three-quarter view, is totally attracted to the contemplation of her little son. The high quality found in the execution of the figures is also emphasized in the rendering of the soft draperies and the careful attention to detail. The interesting pictorial device of the circular frame surrounding the two figures allows the viewer to feel a sense of participation and emotional involvement, as if he or she were present at the event. The work, created in 1848 by French artist Adele Pinot, reworks the famous Madonna in Adoration of the Child by Guido Reni (Bologna, 1575 - 1642) now housed in the Doria Pamphilj Gallery in Rome. Reni's oval-format painting, probably repeated by the master, was the subject of both pictorial and engraving fortune. In fact, an early and faithful copy made by Giovanni Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato (Sassoferrato, 1609 - Rome, 1685), currently housed in the Parmeggiani Gallery at the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia, is attested. Salvi must have particularly appreciated Reno's iconographic invention, as he later derived many paintings of the same subject and similar composition from it, as evidenced by his Madonna with Sleeping Child in the Galleria Estense in Modena. Equally dated to the 17th century are another pictorial reproduction of the work now housed at the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi in Lucca and some engravings made, with some variations, by the Dutch Cornelis Bloemaert and the French painter Jean Boulanger both located at the Gabinetto dei Disegni e Stampe at the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna. Bloemaart's burin was printed by Giovanni Giacomo De' Rossi and has a dedication to the Spanish nobleman Pietro Paolo Avila, "Picturae et liberalium artium Studiosisimo," while Jean Boulanger's was edited by the Parisian Jean Leblond I. These engravings, the d'après and Sassoferrato's canvases undoubtedly contributed to the immense fortune of this image by Reni, which has been spread and appreciated over the centuries especially for its devotional potential and the intense emotionality it conveys.

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Madonna with Sleeping Child Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685) Roman painter 18th century Oil on canvas Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm. This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil. The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands. This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces. Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.  In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. It is also possible to see the painting in the gallery in Riva del Garda...

Madonna Maria Piola Paint Oil on canvas 17/18th Century Old master Religious
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Anton Maria Piola (Genoa, 1654 - 1715) circle Madonna and Child Genoese school of the second half of the 17th century Oil on canvas 93 x 74 cm.- In antique frame 110 x 92 cm. (Work with expertise by Dr. Arabella Cifani) In the pleasing work proposed, depicting a classical Nativity scene, the Madonna is immortalised in adoration as she gently holds the sheet on which the Child is lying, with a gesture of protection and pride that facilitates an atmosphere of intimate recollection, in addition to the presence of three cherubs at the top. The stylistic analysis of the canvas can easily be traced back to a painter of the Genoese school and active during the 17th century, specifically with the devotional works from the workshop of Domenico Piola (Genoa, 1627-1703), an absolute protagonist of Genoese Baroque culture. Piola was the owner of the most important city painting workshop of the time, known as 'Casa Piola', where his sons Paolo Gerolamo and Anton Maria also collaborated. His production, which specialised in a type of highly decorative, profane and allegorical paintings, destined for the decoration of Genoese patrician palaces, also included a refined series of works of a religious nature. In particular, the style of our beautiful breast painting...
