Madonna in Adorazione del Bambino dormiente, Copia da Guido Reni

1700s

About the Item

Olio su tela. L'opera è una delle numerose repliche, con alcune varianti, del celebre soggetto realizzato dal celebre pittore bolognese Guido Reni (1574 -1642) e dalla sua bottega. La composizione, che vede la Vergine in preghiera piegata ad adorare il Bambino addormentato, è considerata una invenzione della geniale vena del Reni, la quale, in seguito al grande successo tra i collezionisti del tempo, venne poi ripresa da altri autori del XVII secolo, tra cui spicca il nome di Giovan Battista Salvi detto "Il Sassoferrato". Le due varianti più celebri di questa affascinante scena vedono la Vergine con le mani giunte in preghiera, fatta propria dal Salvi, oppure quella con le mani al petto, come questa, tipicamente reniana. Altre variazioni riguardano la posizione del capo del Bambin Gesù addormentato, rivolto verso l'alto come in questa versione, piuttosto che reclinato di lato; infine cambiano i tessuti di sfondo. Comunque spicca anche in questa replica l'intensità della scena: ad occuparla trasversalmente il corpo abbandonato nel riposo del bambino, ove la natura divina soggiace nel sonno a quella umana; sopra di esso, inclinato in gesto protettivo e allo stesso contemplativo, il corpo di Maria, che esprime tutta la tenerezza materna ma anche, nel gesto delle mani, l'adorazione del mistero incarnato rappresentato dal figlioletto. Le cromie vive dei tessuti - il cuscino su cui è adagiato Gesù, il tendaggio retrostante, gli abiti della Madre -, fanno risaltare la luminosità degli incarnati. Restaurato e ritelato, il dipinto è presentato in cornice di fine '800.

Portrait Of a Woman Painting - - oil on canvas -- Woman with a Black Hair' Hal Frater passed away on February 3, 2008, just a month from celebrating his 99th birthday. Hal Frater had a long and prolific career. He became a sought after commercial artist for over fifty years . All the while he would return to his studio and paint for himself rather than his clients. Yet he always retained his illustration roots in wanting to tell a story on canvas with his keen eye of observation on the human condition. Often he would join fellow artists in informal sessions and paint from a model - no formal art school training but a mutually beneficial learning experience. His contemporaries that influenced him were Jack Levine, Raphael Soyer, John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and Phillip Reisman...
