AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptionally without reservation!

Delicate and intense twentieth-century sacred subject painting, depicting a very tender Madonna with Child, caught in a moment of deep intimacy and contemplation. The Virgin, with a sweet and melancholic face, tilts her head with a maternal gesture toward the Child, enveloping him with her hands in a protective and silent embrace.

The composition rests on a refined harmony of soft lines and restrained gestures, where the expression in the eyes and the closeness of the bodies convey a sense of pure love, protection, and spirituality. The Child, serene and composed, appears to be aware of the maternal presence, strengthening the emotional bond between the two figures.

The palette is warm and soft, dominated by rosy, ochre, and ivory tones, which help to create an atmosphere of peace and sweetness. The transparent veil, rendered with great painterly sensitivity, adds depth and lightness to the scene, while the simple and bright background focuses attention exclusively on the protagonists.

A devotional work of refined taste, capable of evoking the great iconographic tradition of Renaissance and nineteenth-century art, ideal for both collectors of sacred art and for refined, contemplative settings.

To complete the painting, a gilded frame, richly carved, elegant and in keeping with the subject, which further enhances the work by giving it a noble and decorative appearance.

Please note that, given the age of the work, there may be small defects, cracks, or omissions: natural signs of time that attest to its authenticity and history.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight lighting to highlight every detail and the painted surface.

Our shipments are fast, professional, and packaged in perfect protection: hence the related shipping costs.

According to the applicable regulations governing works of art, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) will incur higher costs and may cause customs issues or delays, entirely at the buyer's expense, unless private arrangements are made.
