Oil Painting on Canvas, Madonna with Child and Angel Italy 17th Century

We are pleased to present this oil on canvas from the 17th-century Italian school. A splendid religious painting depicting the Madonna with Baby Jesus and an Angel. A work rich in religious symbolism. The Madonna, positioned in the center, wears a warmly colored robe (yellow and red) and a blue cloak. Her head is covered by a light veil and her gaze is turned gently toward the baby Jesus. The baby Jesus is lying on his mother's lap, his head tilted back. He appears in a relaxed pose, almost asleep. On the left, a winged child figure (traditionally identified as an angel) reaches out toward the baby Jesus, holding a scroll of parchment unrolled in the foreground. The parchment has a profound theological and prophetic meaning linked to the destiny of Jesus. The scene unfolds in a dark interior. At the top left, a small square window opens, through which pale clouds can be seen, creating a luminous contrast. A marvelous painting for its pictorial quality and profound religious message. The work displays the typical characteristics of Italian sacred art from the Baroque period, with a strong contrast of light and shadow and warm colors. If you love ancient Italian sacred art, you absolutely must add this splendid painting to your collection. The work is accompanied by a 17th-century wooden frame decorated with faux tortoiseshell motifs. The painting is in good overall condition, consistent with an antique work of art that has lived its life. It has been relined.
