Item description

Large altarpiece from the second half of the 17th century. Oil work on canvas depicting a splendid Madonna and Child adored by Saint Jerome and Saint Anthony of Padua. A painting of notable pictorial quality, particularly noteworthy is the executive technique for the drapery and the chromatic brilliance of the tonal painting of the Venetian school. High above the clouds we see the Virgin and baby Jesus with two splendid little angels, one with a tambourine and the other with flowers. Below appear Saint Jerome and Saint Anthony of Padua: the former can be recognized by his red robe and some symbols such as the lion, the book and a stone in his hand used to do penance by beating his chest. The second in Franciscan clothes points to a stem of lilies, his specific iconographic symbol. Painting attributable to the Venetian painter Francesco Pittoni (1645-1724) based on documentation by Emilio Negro. He worked mainly in northern Italy but above all in Venice and his style opened up early to the innovations of Rococo, thus influencing his nephew Giovanni Battista Pittoni. Monumental size painting, ideal for a large hall or private chapel. Large 19th century frame in carved and gilded wood, with some gilding losses (see photo). Curved canvas already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and color recovery in small spots. Overall, it is in a good state of conservation. Painting light H 219 x W 118 cm
