17th Century Rest on The Flight to Egypt Emilian school Painting Oil on Canvas

About the Item

17th century, Emilian school Rest on the flight to Egypt Oil on canvas, 42 x 33 cm Frame 65 x 55 cm The present Holy Family, with an organized composition exemplary in the form of rest from the flight into Egypt, is arranged within a shady bucolic backdrop, a natural and silent scenographic backdrop. Saint Joseph, shown in collected relaxation, seems to trace in the figure the parallel and suggestive half column caressed by a glimmer of sunlight, which breaks through the shady wooded idyll. The group in the foreground of the Virgin with the Child and St. John is framed in a pyramid scheme that resolves the affectionate embrace of the Mother to the older child and the gestures linked both to everyday life, in the stretched legs of the Madonna on the ground or in the trampling pose. of the Child Jesus, and to the sacredness in the prayerful pose of the little Baptist. The canvas, with the typical dimensions linked to private devotion, recognizes in the composition and stylistic comparisons the hand of an Emilian painter active in the first half of the seventeenth century, aware of the contemporary pictorial productions and influenced by the works, for example, of Ippolito Scarsella, known as the Scarsellino (1550-1620), rather than from the examples of Albani and Domenichino.

  • Early 17th Century Roman School Praying Madonna Painting Oil on Canvas
    Located in Milan, IT
    Roman school, late 16th-early 17th century Praying Madonna Oil on canvas, 81 x 69 cm Frame 83 x 95.5 cm A divine whiteness reverberates with vibrant luster on the maphorion of the present Virgin. The palpable iridescence that structures the thin rosaceous garment, woven with the same fresh light, produces a slight rustle when she takes her hands off. The Madonna in fact takes a prayerful pose, opening her palms to underline her fervent ecstatic intention; the white neck is rendered with perishable fullness of pigments, like the hands, perfectly alive, and the very shiny eyes. With fine shrewdness the artist of the present styles the Virgin's hair with thin white ribbons, exacerbating the purity. An evocative light falls gently on the bust, a materialized sign of divine glory. The present can be traced back to the late Mannerist climate that prevailed in the capital after the emanation of the Tridentine council (1545-1563). The late Mannerist licenses that can still be seen there, such as the intense lyricism in the stylistic code adopted by the artist, are innervated in the new basic catechetical intent, which at the end of the century produced a certain figurative rigorism. The present, however, still responds to that extraordinary Roman dynamism that raised the capital to a bulwark for the entire mannerist lesson, matched only by a second artistic center, the Florentine one. The engaging carriage of the Virgin reflects the contemporary examples of Giuseppe Valeriano (1542-1596), a Jesuit painter, returning in the Marriage of the Virgin of the Roman Church of Jesus, as well as in the Madonna of Sorrows in the Recanati Altarpiece, equal ardor. But it is in the Assumption of the Virgin painted in four hands with Scipione Pulzone...
