About the Item

C. Maratta went to Rome in 1636 and became an apprentice in the Studio of Andrea Sacchi. Pope Alexander VII commissioned many paintings from him. Maratta’s paintings of the later 1650s exhibit light and movement derived from Roman Baroque painting, combined with classical idealism. This outstanding Madonna and Child (Oil on Canvas) belongs to an Italian (Roman) school of painting and is an absolute masterpiece of Carlo Maratta/ Maratti. The Painting originally made its way to the United States and ended up being for many years in private collection. In 1975 it was auctioned off at the Plaza Art and Auction Galleries, New York city. A private collector brought it back to Europe- Austria, where it has been until recently. Carlo Maratta’s Madonna with Child is a serene and elegant Baroque painting, - very soft, idealised portrayal of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. The color palette is warm and harmonious, dominated by gentle blues, soft reds, and creamy flesh tones that convey both divinity and maternal tenderness. The Madonna is typically draped in a flowing blue mantle, symbolising purity, while the Child often radiates innocence and light. Maratta’s smooth brushwork and balanced composition reflect his classical influences, emphasising grace and spiritual calm rather than dramatic emotion.
