- Lot Description
Follower of GIOVANNI BATTISTA SALVI; second half of the seventeenth century. "Madonna and Child". Oil on canvas. Relined. It has a new frame. Presents frame of the twentieth century with identification plate. Measurements: 73 x 65 cm; 90,5 x 76,5 cm (frame). In this canvas the Virgin Mary is represented with the Child in her arms, both embracing each other with tenderness. Mary appears three-quarter length, holding her son with both hands, surrounding him with her arms, and looking directly at the viewer, making him participate in a scene of their family intimacy. Jesus, for his part, appears almost naked, although Mary covers him with a white cloth as is common in this iconography. The Child turns his body towards his mother, resting his hands on her breast. The composition is placed in a dark interior, the figures are cut out against a neutral background that is illuminated by the soft light radiating from the figures. The Virgin wears pink inner tunic and blue mantle, colors that allude respectively to purity, the future Passion of her son, the concepts of truth and eternity and the divine Glory. Giovanni Battista Salvi known as "Il Sassoferrato" (Sassoferrato, 1609 - Rome, 1685), was an Italian Baroque painter appreciated, above all, for the creation of devotional images in which he united the Bolognese classicist current and the tenebrism of the Caravaggist tradition, with a great variety of models and much diffusion, which often makes it difficult to attribute works to him with certainty. He began his training at the hand of his father, Tarquinio Salvi, extending it with Domenichino. He settled permanently in Rome, soon achieving a certain success for his gentle painting, allowing him to establish in the city an important workshop that would repeat the schemes and style of the master. His work is preserved in important institutions such as the National Gallery in London, the Prado Museum in Madrid, Palazzo Barberini in Rome, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, etc.
