About the Item

Oil on Board. The work is accompanied by expert opinion by Professor Mauro Minardi, who attributes the painting to the production of Bartolomeo Neroni, known as Riccio, an artist active in Siena in the 16th century, through a documented comparison of the pictorial elements of that work with others by the same author. The painting proposes a subject that was widely used in the 'artistic environment of Siena in the 16th century, namely, a Madonna and Child with Saints. In this tondo, Mary is depicted in a half-length pose while holding the baby Jesus, standing before her on a tabletop: the hands of mother and child intertwine in a gesture of tenderness. On either side of them, in the background, are two figures of saints, who are among those most venerated in Siena: on the right is St. Catherine, recognizable by her black monk's habit with a white veil and wimple and holding the traditional lily, a symbol of purity; on the left appears a lesser-known saint, St. Ansanus, a young knight who lived in the third century in Siena, then a Roman colony, where he preached Christianity and received martyrdom. The young saint is depicted holding a banner pole with one hand and a spherical object with the other, which according to the its iconography should depict a heart. The work thus falls within the devotional painting that was widespread in the 16th century and to which the Riccio with his workshop devoted extensive efforts, given the extensive number of specimens similar to this one that have survived and attributed to him thanks in part to fortunate documentation for some of them. The images in the painting are inscribed in a frame embossed in the same board and gilded. At the back, the board appears to be reinforced by parquetry. A few color falls present.
