About the Item
A rare 16th-century Italian painting. An oil on panel painting depicting a refined Madonna with Child, this artwork is of extraordinary pictorial quality. The most popular iconographic subject of the time is the Madonna del Latte, or Madonna of the Milk, or the Virgin breastfeeding the baby Jesus. The delicate facial features, the gentleness of the hands, the exquisite craftsmanship of the draperies, and the emotional intensity are similar to those of Ambrogio Da Fossano, known as Bergognone (the painting does not currently come with an expertise, but one can be requested upon payment of the relevant additional costs). His artwork was influenced by Flemish painting, and this is evident in the meticulous and exquisite details of the garments. In particular, the child wears a burnished robe decorated with fine, masterfully applied gold embroidery. The gold inscriptions "IHS" (the first three letters of the name Jesus in Greek) and "Maria" stand out against the dark background. The painting features a splendid 17th-century frame in painted and gilded wood with plant and floral motifs, with some drops of color. The gold leaf is applied over a preparatory base of Bologna gesso and bole, and features abrasions and patinas consistent with its age. On the back are several sealing wax stamps, likely identifying its ownership from an important collection or trust. This artwork has undergone restoration, with restoration of color in some areas, but is generally in good condition. Internal dimensions: H 42 x W 33.5 cm.

Madonna and Child
Oil on canvas, 31 x 21 cm
With frame, cm 37,5 x 27,5
The pearly incarnations and the thoughtful play of looks between the Virgin, turned to the Son, and Questi, warmly open to the viewer, pour out the present painting with compositional perfection. Virginal fabrics become mottled at the folds, wrapping the Madonna in a thin vitreous mantle. The pastel colors, shining on the pink robe just tightened at the waist by a gold cord, enliven the faces of the divine couple in correspondence of the cheeks, lit by an orange warmth. Even the left hand of the Virgin, composed in perfect classical pose (Botticelli, Madonna with Child, 1467, Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon), is sprinkled with warmth thanks to the immediate touch with Christ. From the nimbus of the Mother a delicate luminous disk is effused, which takes back, in the most distant rays, the colour of the hair of the Son, from the tones of the sun. The Child Jesus is represented intent in a tender gesture of invitation with the right hand, while with the other he offers a universal blessing: with his hand he retracts the index and annular palms, extending the remaining three fingers, symbol of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The painting welcomes and re-elaborates that typically Tuscan formalism that boasted in the rest of Italy the constant appreciation by the most up-to-date artists and collectors. Arrangement, composition and mixing of colors place the canvas in the middle between the changing mannerist and the sculptural figures of Michelangelo, essential yardstick of comparison in terms of anatomical and expressionistic rendering. In the present, silvery and pinkish powders act as three-dimensional inducers to the Child’s mentioned musculature and to the vivid folds of the clothes, expertly deposited on the lunar whiteness of the skins. While these colours recall the equally brilliantly transparent colours of Pier Francesco Foschi...
