Description from the seller
Madonna del Cardellino – After Raffaello Sanzio – Painted miniature – Early 20th century
Refined pictorial reproduction from the early twentieth century, depicting a delicate detail of the famous “Madonna del Cardellino” by Raffaello Sanzio, masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance.
The work portrays the face of the Virgin Mary, characterized by a sweet and contemplative expression, with the gaze gently directed downward. The fineness of the features, the soft shading of the flesh tones, and the accurate rendering of the hairstyles testify to a refined painterly execution, inspired by the harmony and grace of the Raffaellian school.
Particularly elegant the composition, embellished by the thin halo and the delicate chromatic tones of the garments.
The painting is housed in a rich ornate frame in Baroque style, with a darkened and gilded finish, adorned with floral motifs and raised volutes. The burgundy passe-partout lined in velvet creates a refined color contrast, further enhancing the brightness of the portrait.
A small artifact of great charm, expression of the tradition of devotional miniatures and early twentieth-century artistic reproductions.
Overall dimensions: 21.5 × 19.5 × 2.5 cm.
Good overall condition, with slight signs of time on the frame, compatible with the period and visible in photographs.
The photographs are an integral part of the description.
Shipping with professional, careful packaging, carried out according to the handling and protection procedures for works of art, thanks to our specialized Art Logistics certification.
