About the Item

This remarkable mid-19th century alpine oil painting on wood captures a Madonna and Child in a deeply symbolic composition. The child holds a flaming heart adorned with a crown of thorns and a cross, evoking themes of love, sacrifice, and devotion central to Christian iconography. The uniquely shaped wooden panel suggests that this piece may have once adorned a piece of furniture, a door, or a small shrine. While signs of age are evident, including wormholes and minor flaking at the edges of the paint, these elements add to the authenticity and charm of this historical artifact. A hanger affixed to the back in the 1980s enables the piece to be easily displayed, though it originally came from a private collector's household. Despite its patina and imperfections, this painting remains a beautiful and original work of religious art, perfect for collectors and admirers of alpine antiques.
