€ 14.000
Beautiful oil painting on poplar wood panel. The painting presents an almost Leonardesque background, characterized by a temple and distant mountains that recall the Holy Land. In the foreground, the Madonna is depicted sitting, with a halo and her head covered by a veil. She wears a soft dress, on which a blue cloak is draped. With one arm she supports the Child Jesus, naked and covered only by a light veil, also with a halo and in an almost blessing attitude. To the left, at the feet of the Madonna, is a third character with a halo: it is the child Saint John, who is holding a flower. Above them, two children without halos, probably the children of whoever commissioned the work, participate in the scene. The great pictorial mastery that is manifested in the details and composition of the scene gives the work a sweet and elegant atmosphere. The painting is attributed to a painter from the Tuscan school of the late 16th century.
