18th Century Madonna with Child Adored by Two Saints Paintings Oil on Canvas
Located in Milan, IT
Giovanni Giacomo Figari (Desenzano del Garda, 1739-1809) Madonna and Child adored by San Francesco di Paola and San Gregorio Magno (About 1765) (2) Oil on panel, 41 x 22.5 - with frame 46.7 x 27.5 x 3.2 cm Expertise Prof. Sava The softly collected and intimate dimension suggested by the present pair of paintings underlines, together with the saints appearing in adoration, the totally private dimension of the order. The saints chosen at the feet of the Madonna and Child are in fact Francesco di Paola and Gregorio Magno, immediately recognizable by the wise features, by the Franciscan habit and by the crosier supported by a putto, the other by the triple crown placed on the ground as a sign of respect. Most likely made as ex votos, as a tribute to the patrons or as preparatory models for two altarpieces, if the saints were to reflect their names, the paintings are offered for specular and meditated composition. An inflamed colorism lights up the veils of the Madonna, enhancing their prominent position with respect to the saint in her presence, and warming the remaining part of the composition with sweet intimacy. The compositional balance, the quality of the drawing and the plastic consistency of the drapery allow the painter's hand to be brought closer to the sphere of Giambettino Cignaroli (1706-1770), a Venetian painter, working in different cities in northern Italy. He was influenced by Ludovico Dorigny, Antonio Balestra...

An earring on his ear is a rare example of coquetry in a picture. His corner smile and brave cheekbones distinguish the character. The eighteenth century is an era of grace. We have never seen men and women so properly prepared throughout history. The extravagant display was consistent with the rococo aesthetic. Powdered hairstyles became fashionable among males in the 17th century, under the reign of Louis14, the Sun King. At the period, France ruled fashion, and its influence expanded to other countries. This gentleman reflects the entirety of the Grand Siecle...

Antique and Vintage Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs

When paired with the perfect frame, the right antique and vintage paintings and other wall decorations can either subtly showcase your personality or steal the show altogether. 

The earliest paintings were created on the walls of caves, proving even our ancient ancestors knew that striking artwork is meant to be on display. Cave paintings on an Indonesian island are reportedly older than the earliest cave art in Spain and France, and the figurative paintings back then were produced with inorganic pigments like iron oxide.

Later, the people of Ancient Greece — who learned about art from the Egyptians before them — conceived panel paintings of wax and tempera that were collected and publicly displayed. In the centuries that followed, artists would be commissioned to create large-scale wall murals and frescoed ceilings in sprawling European palaces and in the homes of the aristocracy.

Today, 1stDibs makes it easy for you to celebrate this rich history in your own home. Our collection of paintings includes Art Deco paintings, baroque art and a broad range of other categories. Search by material, period or other attributes to find the right fit — browse an array of 19th century landscape paintings in giltwood frames or abstract oil paintings and portraits made during the 1950s and ‘60s.

An understated contemporary work can complement your space’s color palette without drawing the focus away from the other pivotal design choices you’ve made over the years. Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop art, on the other hand, demands attention with its array of vibrant hues and subjects inspired by popular culture. 

Whether you aim to create a gallery in your home or build a single, stunning focal point, you can find what you’re looking for in an extensive inventory of paintings on 1stDibs.
