About the Item

This resplendent early 17th-century depiction of the Virgin and Child bridges two worlds: the stillness of Byzantine iconography and the tender naturalism of Italy. The Virgin’s dark-blue mantle, embroidered with gold thread and marked by three stars, symbols of her perpetual virginity, encloses the Christ Child, who raises His hand in benediction while gazing directly at the viewer. The gilded ground and halos retain the visual language of the icon, while the softly shaded faces and naturalistic drapery reveal a painter attuned to the devotional warmth of the early Baroque. Probably executed around 1630, the work reflects a moment when artists sought to reconcile the inherited grandeur of Renaissance sacred art with the immediacy of post-Tridentine piety. Such paintings were particularly favoured in the central regions of Italy, where small churches and confraternities continued to commission luminous images of the Virgin as ‘mediatrix’ and ‘intercessor’. Created for a chapel or modest altar, the panel would have glowed by candlelight, its gold surface transforming devotional space into a vision of celestial radiance. It stands as a testament to faith’s continuity through changing times - an image both ancient in form and vividly human in spirit. Held in a 20th-century giltwood frame with a simple, flat profile and slender raised sight edge. Unsigned.

Early 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour, Oil Painting
Located in Cheltenham, GB
US buyers pay no import tariffs on this item. This early 19th-century central European oil painting depicts Christ The Saviour standing atop an orb and carrying a cross over his left shoulder. An unusual composition, Christ’s rather striking posture is perhaps more ‘Saturday Night Fever’ than it is sacramental. However, the iconography is archaic and derived ultimately from New Testament illustrations dating to the Middle Ages. Depictions of orbs are usually symbolic of the universe, while the cross alludes to redemption. Hence, it’s a visual representation of Christ as the Saviour of humanity. Francisco de Zurbarán...

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Madonna with Sleeping Child Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685) Roman painter 18th century Oil on canvas Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm. This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil. The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands. This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces. Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.  In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. It is also possible to see the painting in the gallery in Riva del Garda...
