Oil on Copper - Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, 18th Century with Carved Wood

About the Item

A beautifully preserved devotional oil painting on copper plate, depicting the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child. Executed circa 1700–1750, this 18th-century work embodies the sacred grace and serenity typical of Baroque religious iconography. The figures are rendered with refined detail and a warm, subdued palette, set against a softly illuminated background that enhances the spiritual aura of the composition. This intimate portrayal is housed in its original, richly carved and gilded wooden frame, adorned with intricate foliate motifs. The frame not only elevates the visual impact of the work but also underscores its historical authenticity and ecclesiastical significance. The use of copper as a painting support—favored in the period for its smooth surface and durability—lends a jewel-like luminosity to the piece, preserving the vibrancy of the pigments over centuries. Details: Medium: Oil on copper Period: 18th century (circa 1700–1750) Subject: The Virgin Mary with the Christ Child Dimensions (unframed): 25 × 20 cm Dimensions (framed): 37 × 35 cm Frame: Original carved and gilded wood, period piece A remarkable example of sacred art, this work is ideal for collectors of religious iconography or period European painting, as well as interiors seeking a refined, contemplative focal point.
