About the Item
Madonna with the book.
XVIIth century.
Oil on Canvas.
Antique painted wooden frame, in need of restoration.
Reintel.
Baroque Era.
Interesting painting of the Genoese school, with characteristic effect of the figure emerging from the oxen and dark background.
The painting from the estate of a noble family in Venice.
The central figure, enveloped in a luminous aura, holds a book, a symbol of knowledge and spirituality. The background, with its harshness, creates a contrast that highlights the sacred figure. The vibrant colors of the dress lend depth and vitality to the work.
In the early 17th century Strozzi moved away from the artificial elegance of Luca Cambiaso's late Mannerist style Bernardo Strozzi made Genoese painting more naturalistic, with greater attention to realistic detail.
Painted has had restorations, and has abrasions of the pictorial layer.
We thank art historian and colleague Wladyslaw Maximowicz for generous contribution in attributing the painting to the Genoese school.

- Adriana Pincherle (1905- 1996). A lady with a turban and green shadows.By Adriana PincherleLocated in Firenze, ITAdriana Pincherle, (1905, Rome - 1996, Florence). A lady with a turban and green shadows in a landscape. Italian female painter, active in Rome and from 1943 in Florence. Painting signed and dated lower right: Adriana Pincherle. 1973. Oil painting on canvas. The simple composition, which represents a woman from behind, bears the influence of Matisse's avant-garde style, with bold and refined color combinations. The shape is created with color, creating an almost surreal and highly expressive effect. The painter once said: "My painting has always been figurative, not realistic. In this sense I felt very similar to the Informal movement, which, fundamentally, pushed my passion for color to the extreme." FREE SHIPPING in Italy and Europe Artist Biography: Pincherle Adriana Rome 25 December 1905 - Florence 8 January 1996 Adriana was born in Rome on 25 December 1905, into a family in which two cultures were intertwined: the Jewish one of her father, the engineer Carlo Pincherle, of Venetian origins and in love with painting, and the Catholic one of her mother, Isa di she. De Marsanich, a noble but decayed Hungarian. Adriana is the eldest child and two years older than her brother Alberto, known to the literary world under the pseudonym Alberto Moravia As Pincherle herself says about her, as a child she spent hours admiring her father who painted watercolours, and it was perhaps then that her interest in drawing and above all her particular sensitivity towards color was born. Thus, having completed her classical studies, she began to attend the "ladies" atelier of the engraver Alfredo Petrucci and the free nude courses at the Academy, where she met Mimmo Spadini and Scipione, and came into contact with Roman art. In 1931 she made her debut at the collective "First Roman exhibition of female art" at the "Galleria di Roma", while the following year, at the same gallery, she exhibited a solo show together with Corrado Cagli, already attracting the attention of critics, famous comment by Longhi, cited several times by Pincherle herself, who prefers the "sissy" between the two artists. As evidence of the results achieved by Adriana since her first works, we remember that among her works presented in 1932 there was also the famous "Standing Self-Portrait", now in the Uffizi Pincherle's growth passes through places and periods common to both the Roman School and the school of painters of the via Cavour group (Mafai, Raphaël, Scipione), with tangents and deviations, but his pictorial research arrives at original solutions independent of any label . Fundamental to the maturation of her art was her stay in Paris in 1933, in which Pincherle admired and studied closely the Fauves, Renoir and in particular Matisse. In the same year she exhibited for the first time in Florence at the Sala d'arte delle Nazioni with Milena Barilli...Category
