One of the most typical portraits of the Virgin created in the famous atelier of Guido Reni, which included a significant number of select and particularly gifted students, some of whom achieved great fame and produced works of extraordinary quality, as in this case.
The exquisite finesse and elegance of the painting are highlighted by an excellent state of preservation and the splendid colors that have remained unaltered over time.
The extraordinary bright blue color of the Virgin's mantle is unattainable except with the use of pigments available only to the most important workshops.
