About the Item
Ancient painting depicting Jesus with the Commissioner's son
(Alternative reading: St. Joseph with the Child, or the 'Paternity')
Giovan Battista Salvi known as "the Sassoferrato" (1609 - 1685) circle / follower
Oil painting on canvas
76 x 59 cm. -With frame in the shape of a small temple, not coeval 99 x 84 cm.
The interesting canvas that we are pleased to offer you recalls the iconographic model of classic paternity, which traditionally sees Saint Joseph holding the sleeping baby Jesus tenderly in his arms;
Although the common popular tradition would have him as a mature man, in reality the Bible does not mention the age of Joseph when Jesus was born and therefore there was no lack of painters, from every age, who portrayed him at a young age as it could be for our painting.
One aspect that makes our work extremely intriguing, however, and which deserves a deeper interpretation, is the face of Joseph, whose somatic features unequivocally recall those we usually identify with Christ.
A possible alternative and certainly original reading, our favorite, could be that which sees Christ holding a child in his hands, joined to the figure of the client of the work of art, therefore a painting commissioned for a birth or as a good luck gift. , from whose emotional interaction between father and son transpires a strong sense of tenderness and protection together.
Turning now to the stylistic aspects, we are faced with a painting presenting the unmistakable requirements of the devotional representations which made the workshop of Giovan Battista Salvi known as Sassoferrato famous, although it illustrates a rather obsolete subject compared to its canonical iconography more linked to single Marian representations or with the Child.
Sassoferrato, named after his hometown in the Marche region, was trained in Rome together with Domenichino, coming into contact with the classicism of the great masters of the past, in particular Raphael, a continuous source of inspiration for him.
Our author, active between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, must necessarily have studied the works of Sassoferrato, celebrated for his easel paintings of devotional subjects characterized by a refined intimacy, a character that we find evident in this painting. The remarkable elegance in the description of the figure of Joseph (or Christ) and the serene composure of his expression convey a feeling of solemn sacredness, in a composition far from any reference to the Passion.
In fact, we consider this painting extremely suggestive as well as of excellent workmanship, characterized by a bright chromatic drafting and radiated by a clear light, typical prerogatives of Salvi's palette, which clearly highlight the smooth surface of the composition. Finally, it is worth mentioning the incredible ability of the author to take that beautiful play of light and shadow from his style, emphasized by the perfection of the nuances that define the harmonious forms, with the result that the two protagonists seem to be irradiated by a halo of supernatural light. .
The conservation conditions of the work appear good, with some old restorations. The painting is completed by a pleasant temple frame.

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Madonna with Sleeping Child
Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685)
Roman painter 18th century
Oil on canvas
Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm.
This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil.
The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands.
This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces.
Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.
In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame.

Expertise by Sandro Bellesi, Professor and art historian
Fairs: The International Biennial of Antiques in Florence 2022 (BIAF, Biennale Internazionale dell’Antiquariato di Firenze)
Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 20, 21.
The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
