About the Item

The Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus Italian 17th century oil on copper, in tabernacle frame Overall framed: 19 x 17 inches Actual copper panel: 14.25 x 11 inches Provenance: private collection, France This painting is likely an early example of religious iconography from the late Byzantine period or the early Italian Renaissance, created by an artist influenced by the Byzantine tradition. It dates to the 17th century. It embodies the devotional and spiritual themes typical of icons used in both liturgical settings and private devotion. The gold background and the stylized, almost otherworldly depiction of the figures are hallmarks of Byzantine iconography, which greatly influenced medieval and early Renaissance art in Europe. The use of more naturalistic forms and a slight attempt at depth, even within the confines of iconographic tradition, suggests a period of transition into the early Renaissance.

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...
