Enrique Lagares (1903-?) - Notre-Dame de l'Amour et de la Vie

Oil on canvas. Exhibition label with price and classification on the back.
- Professor of the Academy, a notable copyist, and practitioner of a magical realism of everyday nature, Enrique Lagares offers in this elegant postwar Madonna a lively and joyful tribute to the Quattrocento, whose influence he masterfully combines with an undeniably modern flavor. A charming and vital painting, the artist moves away from artificiality, allegory, and unbearable metaphor to depict the Gospel in a way that children understand.

Image dimensions without frame: 42 x 70 cm / 50 x 78 cm with an elegant custom-made frame in silver cane.
