Painting early 18th venitian PIAZZETTA Oil canvas Virgin Mary reading a book

About the Item

Giovanni Battista PIAZZETTA (Workshop of) Venice, 1683 - Venice, 1754 Oil on canvas 48 x 38.5 cm (64 x 58 cm with the frame) Piazzetta painted a number of "portraits" of saints or laymen in small formats and in a tight framing, and several Virgin Mary readin a book. We can compare our painting to the Virgin in the Hisch collection sold at Sotheby's in London in 1971 . Piazzetta has produced several "Madonna in the Book", a subject traditionally close to the Virgin of the Annunciation. The Virgin Mary is said to have been reading the psalms when the angel Gabriel came to visit her : "Madonna in prayer", Sotheby's New York in 1979, Madonnina orante, Pinacotheque de Vicenze, exhibited in 1982, the “Santa Vergine Maria” represented with a book, print from a missing painting and The Blessed Virgin praying with her hands joined with a book placed in front of her (the last two reproduced in the Center de documentation of the Louvre Museum). One can easily recognize the style of the great Venetian master, in particular the roundness of the modeling, the strange shape of the hands and the muted colors, the complexion very in the paste and the sense of the material in the fabrics and the objects (in particular in oir painting the beautiful output of pages of the little prayer book of the Virgin).
