We are pleased to present this oil on canvas from the 18th-century Italian school. A splendid religious painting depicting a classic subject of Christian art: the Madonna with the Child Jesus and Saint John the Baptist. The Virgin Mary is on the right, tenderly looking at the two children. She wears a light red dress covered by a green and brown mantle. Her right hand is raised in a gesture of protective blessing. The Baby Jesus is seated in the center, on his mother's lap, turning towards Saint John the Baptist, holding him tenderly in his arms. Saint John the Baptist is on the left, characterized by a darker complexion, embracing Jesus and returning his gaze. The composition is very classic and typical of this type of religious depiction. The pictorial quality is good, with good mastery of chiaroscuro between the background and the illuminated figures in the foreground. The brushstrokes are soft on the faces and the curly hair of the children. The style strongly reflects the Baroque pictorial tradition of the Italian school. A wonderful painting for its pictorial quality and its profound religious message. If you love ancient Italian religious art, you absolutely must add this splendid painting to your collection. The painting is sold as shown in the photos, without a traditional frame. It is accompanied by a simple, recently made wooden frame. The painting has been restored: it has been relined, shows some retouching in the paint layer, and exhibits craquelure consistent with the age of the work.
