AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Virgin of Bethlehem”, p. s. XIX - Andalusian School
Medium on support: Oil on canvas
Title of the work: “Virgin of Bethlehem”
School: Andalusian School
Period: Early 19th century
Provenance: Private collection
Relined canvas
Overall dimensions: 67 x 55 x 6 cm
Dimensions without frame: 53 x 40 cm
Extraordinary oil on canvas from the early 19th century, Andalusian School. The Virgin of Bethlehem is depicted. The iconography of the Virgin of Bethlehem is one of the representations within the Virgins of Tenderness, which penetrates Marian sculpture with great force during the Gothic due to Francisan-root naturalism, which sought to show a normal relationship between a mother and child, thus avoiding portraying Mary as the throne of Jesus. This elevates a loving attitude, as in this case, where the Virgin embraces the Child, and the Child caresses her face.
In this painting, therefore, both are crowned and looking sweetly at the viewer, against a dark and neutral background. There is a predominance of drawing, which defines and outlines the forms. The colors have been applied in a conventional manner, but the shading on the volumes is extraordinary. Notable is the detail of the crowns and the jewels they wear. Carved and gilded wooden frame that enhances the beauty of the work.
The shipment of the product will be paid by the buyer according to the dimensions, weight, and destination. Shipping costs include professional bespoke packaging; and personalized shipping, with tracking number and warranty.
The frame that protects the work is offered as a gift, but it has value in itself. It is provided at no additional cost so that when your artwork arrives at your home or destination it can be displayed immediately. Any damage to the frame itself, that does not affect the integrity of the artwork, cannot be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
The buyer will be responsible for paying import duties and associated taxes in the destination country, if any. Please note the seller’s disclaimer regarding possible customs charges, as they are charged in the destination country and the amount payable is determined by that country’s customs. If an export permit is required, the costs are borne by the buyer. The cost depends progressively on the value of the work to be exported.
