About the Item

Scuola italiana, XVII secolo Madonna con il Bambino e San Giovannino Olio su tela, cm 86 x 99 Con cornice, cm 113 x 93 Il dipinto seicentesco presenta la Vergine intenta a presentare il Divin Figlio al piccolo san Giovannino, presentato con i suoi attributi cardine, il bastone in canna con culminazione cruciforme e la pelle di cappello appoggiata sulle spalle, esemplificativi del suo futuro eremitaggio nel deserto. Di particolare intensità emotiva nel dipinto barocco è l’intimo rapporto tra la madre ed il bambino, che si rivolgono vicendevolmente uno sguardo amorevole. La Madonna lo sostiene dolcemente reggendogli la manina, in un gesto che dona alla composizione una profonda umanità ed un senso di realismo e verità che denota l’intera linea di sviluppo della pittura italiana del Seicento. San Giovannino porge a Gesù Bambino un vassoio con delle pere e Cristo si appresta ad afferrarne una per il picciolo. Nel contesto del cristianesimo, la pera, pur non essendo uno dei simboli più diffusi o esplicitamente menzionati nelle Scritture come, ad esempio, l'uva o la mela, ha assunto diverse valenze positive nell'arte e nell'iconografia sacra, soprattutto a partire dal Medioevo e nel Rinascimento. Solitamente questa simboleggia la Bontà Divina e il profondo Amore di Dio per i suoi fedeli: La dolcezza intrinseca del frutto della pera l'ha resa un simbolo della bontà del Creatore e dell'amore del Signore per l'umanità. La simbologia della pera ricorre spesso nelle rappresentazioni della Vergine Maria con il Bambino Gesù. In questo contesto, simboleggia l'amore e l'affetto profondo tra Madre e Figlio, e più in generale l'amore di Dio per l'umanità attraverso la figura di Cristo. Legata al concetto di amore divino, la pera può anche rappresentare la Redenzione, la salvezza offerta da Cristo all'umanità. È interessante notare come il simbolismo della pera sia quasi esclusivamente positivo nell'arte sacra, distinguendosi da altri frutti che possono avere connotazioni più ambivalenti (come la mela). La sua presenza in dipinti, in particolare quelli mariani, è un sottile richiamo a concetti di amore, grazia e salvezza.

17th Century Madonna with Child Painting Oil on Canvas Tuscan School
Located in Milan, IT
17th century, Tuscan school 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...
