About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Central Italian school of the 17th century. According to iconographic tradition, the 'guardian angel is also depicted in this painting as a winged youth accompanying a child on a stretch of road, pointing him to heaven as the goal of the journey. The winged figure stands out and dominates the scene, vivid in its colors, mighty in the physical strength it exudes, yet gentle in its 'gently protective attitude toward the child, whose tiny figure enwrapped in the limbs of its janitor. The scene is enclosed within a garland of flowers, vibrant and colorful, giving color to the figures, otherwise placed in a dark, almost monochrome landscape. The depiction of figures, mainly religious, enclosed in floral frames had great development especially in Rome, linked to names such as Giovanni Stanchi (1608 -1675), rather than Mario Nuzzi called Mario de' Fiori (1603 -1673), and others. The painting, restored and retiled, is presented in a lath frame.
