Madonna and Child
Oil on copper
26 x 20 cm In high-quality period frame 72 x 50 cm
The work depicts the Madonna lovingly holding the sleeping Child in her arms, celebrating motherhood in an image of great simplicity and profound spirituality.
The composition is pervaded by an aura of tranquillity and devotion, accentuated by the sweetness of the faces and the delicacy of the colour tones, with the light gently shaping the figures.
These characteristics of the painting, combined with the graceful classicism of the composition and the elegance of the pictorial execution, lead us to attribute its authorship to an artist belonging to the late Roman Baroque period, active between the 17th and 18th centuries, to be identified among the pupils of Sebastiano Conca (Gaeta 1680 - Naples 1764).
A Rococo painter of Campanian origin, active mainly in Rome in the 18th century, he had a very influential school.
The painting is in good condition with a well-preserved pictorial surface. It is complete with a magnificent antique carved and gilded wooden frame, which perfectly complements and enhances the beauty of the painting.
