Description from the seller
Oil painting on a canvas-stretched panel depicting 'Madonna and Child', Italian school of the 17th century.
This work presents a classical iconographic theme of Italian Renaissance and Baroque painting, the Madonna with the Child Jesus. The painting shows clear stylistic references to the Lombard and Tuscan traditions of the 16th-17th centuries, with particular attention to the rendering of faces and the drapery of the garments. The technique of oil on canvas-stretched panel was common in the period, where a canvas was applied to a wooden support to ensure greater stability and durability. The original gilded frame with relief floral decorations is typical of the era and adds historical value to the whole.
These sacred paintings are highly valued by antique art collectors, scholars of religious iconography, and enthusiasts of Italian Renaissance painting. The work attracts particular interest for its execution quality, the original support on a canvas-stretched panel, the preservation of the contemporaneous frame, and the devotional subject that represents a fundamental element of European artistic culture. Such works are sought after both for their artistic value and for the historical and spiritual importance they embody, with particular appreciation for pieces that retain the original support.
Dimensions with frame (provided as a courtesy): 74 x 60 x 7 cm
