Sublime Neo-Classical Painting "Virgin and Child" - French School Early 19th Century

Let yourself be captivated by this magnificent oil on canvas by the French School of the early 19th century, depicting the Virgin and Child. This work, dating from the first half of the 19th century, is enhanced by a splendid frame from the Restoration period (1830s), magnificently gilded with gold leaf.

Ideal for complementing a neo-classical décor, and equally at home in a modern setting, this large-scale painting stands out for its balanced composition and mastery of chiaroscuro. The play of shadows on the figures and the drapery of the garments bear witness to remarkable execution. The sleeping Child, holding an antique rattle and curled up in his Mother's arms, emerging from his trimmed bassinet, tenderly embodies the universal theme of motherhood, reinforced by the Mother's calm, benevolent gaze.

The intense, classical colors - blue, red, yellow, brown and pearly white - add to the richness of this work of art.the painter studied in Italy and there is a strong Italian Inspiration and Raphaelian posture in the composition and colors.

This high-quality painting stands out for its generous dimensions and excellent state of preservation. The original canvas has been cleaned, as has the gilded wooden frame, which is also in very good condition, despite a few slight traces of age and small missing pieces, proof of its authenticity. It is perfectly in keeping with the revival of religious art that began during the Restoration period in France, when artists drew inspiration from the great old masters.
