Madonna and Child 17th Century Oil Painting on Canvas of Italian School

circa 1680

About the Item

Madonna and Child late 1600s, oil painting on canvas from northern Italy, in good condition, within walnut frame, from a private collection in Milan. The work depicts the Virgin holding the sleeping Child on her lap, lovingly encircling him with her hands, covered only by a white cloth that enhances the color contrast of the Madonna's dark mantle. The Virgin has a pink robe with white drapery covering her head and shoulders, her head tilted downward is gently resting on the blond hair of the Child. The presence of old lining indicates that the work has gone through centuries of history and restoration over the years. This ancient Italian religious painting is in good state of preservation, showing restorations and pictorial retouches compatible with its age. The fact that the drapery of clothes and anatomical details are well defined suggests that the artist had a solid understanding of the human figure and painting techniques. In particular, the depiction of the Virgin and Child may reflect the iconographic conventions of the time, but with a personal touch that could distinguish the artist. It comes from northern Italy and has a molded solid walnut frame polished with shellac. To export an antique art object from Italy, an export license called BELLE ARTI must be applied for from the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. the issuance of such a government license takes a couple of weeks or so, to be added to the order's shipping time.
