- Lot Description
Europe, Italy, painting ca. mid 19th century frame ca. late 19th to early 20th century. An Italian Renaissance Revival painting of Madonna and Child set in a gilded frame. Mary and the infant Jesus are the focus of the composition, depicted half-length and dramatically close to the picture plane. Madonna gently places her left hand on the Child's shoulder and gestures toward Him with her right hand as if presenting Him to the viewer. The Christ Child stands upon Mary's lap and opens His arms in a warm, welcoming manner as if greeting the viewer. Both figures look out with sweet smiles evoking the tenderness and love of their bond. A leafy tree and mountain peak in the background provide natural context. Mother and Child are bathed in holy light emanating from their haloes, and the jewel tone palette of the painting is beautifully complemented by the gilt frame which with its attractive openwork and relief carving is a work of art in its own right. Size of painting: 37.375" L x 27" W (94.9 cm x 68.6 cm) Size of frame: 40.875" L x 31.625" W (103.8 cm x 80.3 cm)
During the 19th century, artists and architects engaged in various revival styles ignited by a newfound romantic interest in the historical past. Artists participating in the Renaissance Revival breathed new life into paintings of the Madonna and Child. Perhaps the most prevalent theme of Christian iconography, this subject was painted by eminent Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Giovanni Bellini, Fra Filippo Lippi, Piero della Francesca, Sandro Botticelli, Parmigianino, and Titian. Given this, 19th century patrons coveted such religious paintings that emulated the style and themes of the Renaissance, valuing them as works of both faith and social standing.
