Italian painting representing Madonna and Child.
Description: Antique oil painting on canvas depicting the Madonna and Sleeping Child with gilded and carved wooden frame.
Mary is represented according to the classical iconography that is she intent on reading a book while she holds Jesus in her arms.
Mary reads, in the full sense of the term: she listens, meditates, memorizes, scrutinizes, understands, prays, agrees, contemplates and thus prepares to accept every message that comes to her from the Word she reads and in the time she reads.
In Mary, prophecy and fulfillment overlap and coincide: announcement and reality come together.
With her example and her behavior, Maria teaches us how to read. Jesus, book and reader, shows us God to the reading of God.
Jesus holds an apple in his hand, fruit of Good and Evil, a symbol of the original Sin and therefore of his atoning Passion Mary has a pensive and melancholy gaze which implies the prefiguration of the tragic destiny of the Son.
The splendid workmanship and the refined colors, evidently of the highest level, suggest in fact the attribution to a very talented author working in Naples in the second half of the 18th century.
Conditions: Excellent condition.
Measures: 65x78cm.
Provenance: Naples, late 18th century.
Document: Certificate of Authenticity.
Assistance: We are at your disposal for further clarifications or photographic details
Shipping: throughout Italy, Europe and the rest of the world at very low prices in maximum security and traceable. Shipping will be privately agreed and will not be of high cost.
We wish you a good day.
