About the Item
Attributed to Francesco Mazza, called "Il Parmigianino" (1503-1540) – "Adoration of the Magi"
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 88 x 134 cm (unframed), 205 x 149 cm (framed)
Provenance: Private collection
Historical Context & Artistic Significance
This masterful oil painting, attributed to Francesco Mazza, known as Il Parmigianino (1503-1540), depicts the Adoration of the Magi, a quintessential Renaissance religious theme symbolizing the recognition of Christ's divine authority by the three Wise Men. The painting showcases the hallmarks of Mannerist elegance, characterized by elongated forms, fluid movement, and sophisticated use of light and shadow.
The central focus is on the richly adorned Magi, presenting their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, accompanied by an elaborate procession of attendants, soldiers, and noble figures. The sumptuous fabrics, detailed facial expressions, and dramatic postures reflect Parmigianino’s influence in blending realism with idealized beauty. The background architecture and equestrian figures add to the depth, creating a sense of grandeur and sacred reverence.
Mannerist Influence & Stylistic Features
Parmigianino was a pioneering figure of the Mannerist movement, known for his innovative compositions, such as "Madonna with the Long Neck" (1535-1540). His style diverged from the harmonious balance of the High Renaissance, favoring elongated proportions, ethereal expressions, and dynamic compositions—all evident in this piece.
The dramatic chiaroscuro (light-dark contrast) enhances the mystical aura, drawing attention to the figures emerging from the shadows in a theatrical display of devotion and grandeur.
Collectible Value & Condition
This painting represents a rare opportunity to acquire a work attributed to the circle of Parmigianino, whose influence shaped 16th-century Italian Mannerism. The exquisite level of detail, sophisticated color palette, and historical subject matter make this a significant piece for collectors of Old Masters, Renaissance religious art, and museum-quality works.
Presented in an opulent gilt frame, this large-scale composition is a remarkable centerpiece for historical collections, ecclesiastical settings, or discerning collectors seeking Renaissance masterpieces.
