About the Item

This rather special Italian Old Master religious portrait oil painting is attributed to a follower of Giovanni Battista Salvi, or Sassoferrato as he is better known. Painted circa 1790 it is a head and shoulder portrait of the Madonna at prayer, hands together eyes cast down. She is dressed in a vibrant blue cloak and pink dress, her head and neck cover in a cream shawl. The image stand out beautifully against a dark background, giving it an ethereal look. The detail of her facial features are just lovely. The painting is housed in a fine Empire frame which really finishes the painting off perfectly. This is a really beautiful 18th century Italian Old Master religious portrait oil painting and in good condition for its age. Provenance. Glasgow estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 24 inches by 18 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a gilt Empire frame, 32 inches by 26 inches and in good condition. Giovanni Battista Salvi (1609-1685), also known as Sassoferrato, was an Italian Baroque painter, known for his archaizing commitment to Raphael's style.

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. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. It is also possible to see the painting in the gallery in Riva del Garda...
