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.

  • Peter Paul Rubens, copy from, Oil on Canvas , "L'arc en ciel" XVIII Century
    Located in Milan, IT
    Oil painting on canvas. The large pastoral scene presents a broad landscape that pushes the gaze to the distant sea coast; on it the sky is gradually opening up, revealing flashes of blue on the left, while on the right, among the darker clouds left over from the storm, a large rainbow is revealed. In the foreground, a group of shepherds and shepherdesses enjoy amorous games, discrete and festive, in the midst of their herds, which rest and drink from the nearby stream. The whole scene is animated by a dimension of joyful relaxation and refreshment, as if the rainbow had restored serenity to the environment, bringing light and with it serenity to the world. it is a copy after a famous painting by Sir Peter Paul Rubens...
