Oil on canvas. Central Italian school of the 17th century. According to iconographic tradition, even in this painting, the guardian angel is depicted as a winged youth who accompanies a child along a stretch of road, indicating heaven as the destination of the journey. The winged figure stands out and dominates the scene, lively in color, powerful in the physical strength it emanates, yet sweet in the delicately protective attitude towards the child, whose small figure is enveloped between the limbs of his guardian. The scene is enclosed within a garland of lively and colorful flowers, which give color to the figures, otherwise placed in a dark and almost monochrome landscape. The depiction of characters, mainly religious, enclosed in floral frames had great development especially in Rome, linked to names like Giovanni Stanchi (1608 -1675), rather than Mario Nuzzi known as Mario de' Fiori (1603 -1673), and others. The painting, restored and relined, is presented in a strip frame.
