Beautiful painting showing one of the most famous depictions of the Madonna by Giovanni Battista Salvi, called Sassoferrato, (Sassoferrato 1609-1685 Rome) a painter from the Marche region. Of the composition are known several replicas and copies. This work is tied to the painting of the monastery of Santa Chiara at Sassoferrato, birthplace of the painter. Known versions differ slightly in terms of composition and detail in the depiction of the Blessed Virgin, in the canvas there are still the stylistic features of the prolific work of the workshop of Sassoferrato, the canvas doesn't seem to have been restored but mounted on a new stretcher, probably at the end of the 19th century, there are old fixing holes at the edges. The work was bought at an auction in Florence in 1939, lot no. 201. The work will be carefully packed and shipped via Courier as an insured parcel.
