Italian school (XIX) - Madonna con Bambino

Extraordinary Antique Painting: Madonna with Child (Late 1800s).

I present a portrait on canvas of great charm and visual impact, coming from a private collection. The work depicts the Madonna with the Child Jesus. The composition, while adhering to classical standards, emanates a particular beauty and spirituality that immediately capture interest.

Certificate of Antiquity and Style. Despite the lack of an obvious signature, the technique and painting style allow us to attribute this work to the end of the 19th century or the very early 20th century at the latest. The information gathered from antique experts confirms the originality and historical significance of the painting.

The fabric is characterized by a skillful chromatic contrast between intense tones and soft shades. The quality of the colors and the painting technique used are of a high standard, highlighting the sacredness and sweetness of the subjects. The placement of the veil increases the mystery and spirituality, enhancing the quality. Its frame, a gilded wooden guantiera with carved wing motifs and rocailles with incised parts, features an inner border with imperial palmettes, also known as a guantiera frame, which is also of venerable age.

The work benefited from a conservation restoration intervention many years ago, including re-framing, which preserved its structure and beauty for future generations. The size of the painting makes it versatile, ideal for enriching any environment, imparting an immediate sense of prestige, history, and color. The complete dimensions of the splendid, contemporaneous frame are approximately 80 m x 67 m x 5 cm, while those of the canvas are about 65 cm x 51 cm. The canvas is in good historical condition. There are a few tiny spots that would require retouching, but which, in a conservative judgment, are considered an integral part of its venerable age and charm.
