About the Item

Roman School, 17th century Madonna and Child Oil on copper, 15 x 11 cm Framed, 26 x 22 cm The small copper on display here depicts the Madonna and Child against a dark background but delicately brightened by a sacred light emanating from the two protagonists in the foreground. The choice of light, the half-length cut of the Virgin, the light tones barely contrasted by pleasant, unobtrusive chiaroscuro, and the pose of the two figures recall 17th-century examples of similar subject matter from the Roman school. Classicism in the setting of figures and poses is interpenetrated with the wisely measured use of light, mindful of Caravaggio's examples but rendered in a more sweetened and enveloping rather than contrastive and impetuous manner. The gentleness of the sleeping Child on her lap, the delicate grasp of the Virgin, whose gaze is turned upward, are painted with masterly precision on the copper support, which gives greater fluidity to the brushstrokes and a sharper, more polished intensity to the light colors of the drapery.
