About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Emilian school of the 18th century. The large canvas proposes the Madonna in glory, seated on the clouds in heaven, with Baby Jesus in her arms; all 'round twirl angels and winged cherubs. The whole scene is characterized by light and movement, and by an atmosphere of levity and serenity; the little cherubs in particular are depicted in joyful and playful attitudes, in contrast to the serious, if smiling, manner of the two angels and Mary and Jesus, engaged in an important symbolic gesture. Indeed, the angel on the right and the two putti at the bottom bear in their hands of "scapulars," or two rectangular flaps of fabric held together by a string, and are handing them to Mary. Such objects are a devotional sign related to Our Lady of Mount Carmel (or Carmel), one of the oldest and most widespread Marian devotions, linked to the Carmelite Order born on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land in the 12th century. A symbol of protection and consecration, wearing the scapular-a gesture made by various religious orders and lay people alike-is tantamount to a 'commitment to live the faith united with Mary, imitating her virtues. The painting thus celebrates Mary's commitment to take under her protection those who wish to entrust themselves to her. Hailing from an important Bolognese collection, the canvas has undergone past restoration and retouching. Not signed.

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian

Located in Riva del Garda, IT

Madonna with Sleeping Child Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685) Roman painter 18th century Oil on canvas Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm. This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil. The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands. This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces. Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.  In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. It is also possible to see the painting in the gallery in Riva del Garda...
