AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circle of Giovanni Battista Salvi called Sassoferrato (1609–1685)
“ Madonna with sleeping Child ”
Period: 17th–18th century (1680/1750)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 17 × 14 cm (canvas); 43 × 39 cm (with 19th-century frame)
Estimate: €800.00 / €1,000.00
Historical-artistic description:
Refined devotional painting depicting the Virgin Mary as she contemplates the sleeping Child Jesus with tender reverie. The composition, characterized by intimate expressive delicacy, the softness of the flesh tones, and the chromatic balance between the red of the robe and the deep blue of the mantle, recalls the iconographic models of Giovanni Battista Salvi, called Sassoferrato.
The work shows evident stylistic affinities with the classicist and Marian tradition of the Marche master, standing out for its formal composure and the particular sensitivity in the rendering of the faces.
State of preservation: Fair overall condition, with slight signs of time and physiological superficial alterations of the paint film. Within a significant 19th-century carved and gilded wooden frame, with signs of wear and small losses.
*** Photographic note
The photographic images (some) of the work were taken with the help of studio lighting and professional spotlights to allow better readability of the composition, details, and painting material. Such lighting may cause slight variations in color perception and brightness compared with viewing the work in person. The photographs are for illustrative and documentary purposes only.
The frame is provided free of charge as a gift with the work and must therefore be considered an accessory element, not included in the financial evaluation of the painting. Because of the natural fragility of antique and gilded frames, any damages, detachments, breakages, or losses of parts of the frame occurring during transport or shipping cannot be the object of refund, compensation, or dispute regarding the value of the work. The packaging will nevertheless be prepared with the utmost care to ensure, as far as possible, a safe transport.
Insured shipment and sales document constitute legitimate provenance.
