Spanish School Early 17th Century Oil Painting of Christ and the Virgin Mary
About the Item
An early 17th century painting in oil on canvas from the Spanish School depicting the Lamentation of Christ.
In this moving depiction of the Lamentation Christ's body has been brought down from the cross. His head is cradled in the arms of his mother, the Virgin Mary who is the focus of the picture.
The emotions of the Virgin Mary are beautifully expressed largely through her hands and face, especially her weeping downcast eyes.
Her hunched body adds to the overall impression of agony and her gentle tender embrace is symbolic of a mothers loss.
This was the conventional depiction of the Lamentation throughout the Renaissance and a similar pose of Mary and Christ can be seen in Giotto’s Lamentation from 1305.
Picture presented in a frame of contemporary age to the painting.

- 17th Century Christ and the Samaritan Oil on Canvas Roman SchoolLocated in Milan, ITRoman school of the 17th century Landscape with bridge - Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well Oil on canvas, cm 42 x 59,5 - With frame, cm 54, 5 x 71 cm The small canvas portrays a broad view of the city surrounded by a bucolic and lush landscape, probably a reinterpretation of the Roman countryside or the Agro. The fulcrum of the canvas is the bridge consisting of several bays beyond which stands a village. In the distance the landscape made of green mountains opens into what looks like a lake crossed by boats. The landscape is animated by the human presence; not only small and fleeting figurines intent on walking along earthy paths but also the representation, in the foreground, of an Gospel episode, that of Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well. The landscape can be clearly traced back to a painter trained on the examples of the great seventeenth-century Roman baroque landscape that sees in the Lunette Aldobrandini by Annibale Carracci but also in Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin and Gaspar Doghet are its greatest achievers. If in the past, therefore, the landscape was considered the scenic background on which to project the representation of divine or human characters, in the seventeenth century it became an autonomous and codified pictorial genre. With Carracci comes the so-called ideal landscape: a mental reconstruction of a peaceful and harmonious nature in which the dream of a perfect communion with man is realized. In the wake of Hannibal, as mentioned, during the seventeenth century the "classic" Roman landscape knows a long and happy season by artists such as Domenichino, and the French Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin and Gaspar Dughet. Lorrain investigates the Roman countryside in all its aspects, studying the variations in the different hours of the day, the seasons or weather conditions, but always nourished by a sense of bucolic Virgilian. With Poussin the approach becomes intellectual elaboration and sophisticated rational construction. From the examples of the great masters, the Roman Baroque season, from the middle of the century, saw the flourishing of several personalities who, with shots, but also important personal reworkings, led to further spread the genre. Among the personalities that can be compared to the work in question we cannot fail to mention Crescenzio Onofri (1634-1714), defined by Salerno as the only true pupil of Dughet, who then spread in Florence the taste of the Baroque landscape influencing Tuscan painters such as Panfi and Peruzzini. His paintings are in various Roman collections; such as, for example, the landscapes from the Sacchetti Collection and today at the Pinacoteca Capitolina. and those in the Almagià collection in Rome, others in the Palazzo di Montecitorio, but the most conspicuous group is in the Galleria Doria. In comparison we can mention the two passages of the National Gallery in London, the landscape with a bridge over the Antiquarian Market but also the design of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In the work you can also find the influences of the art of Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi...Category
