Description from the seller
Title
Ceramics “Vecchia Gualdo” – Madonna with Child and St. John the Baptist – hand painted, gold and ruby lusters – certificate no. 5111
Description
A prized decorative work created by Ceramica “Vecchia Gualdo” of Gualdo Tadino (Perugia, Italy), an important center of Umbrian ceramic tradition.
The work depicts the Madonna with Child and St. John the Baptist, in accordance with Italian Renaissance iconography. The composition is characterized by a refined painting execution, with particular care given to flesh tones, drapery, and the landscape in the background.
As certified by the original guarantee certificate no. 5111, still present on the back, the piece was entirely handcrafted with the collaboration of artists and using the traditional gilding technique of Mastro Giorgio (1465–1553), with gold and ruby lusters. The certificate also specifies that the work belongs to a production made in a few exemplars, catalogued and progressively numbered.
The work retains on the back both the certificate and the original label of the manufacture Ceramica “Vecchia Gualdo” – Gualdo Tadino (PG), Italy.
Presented in an important gold frame of classical taste, richly decorated at the corners and along the edge, which particularly enhances the composition.
