Madonna and Child, oil on canvas, 18th century
PLATINUM Seller in Milano, Italy
Oil on canvas. This is a copy of a painting by Anthony Van Dick (1599 -1641), who created this subject in three versions during his stay in Italy – between 1621 and 1625, which were later widely copied. The composition of the two figures is faithful to the original, with the contrast of Mary\'s gaze, which turns sorrowfully towards the sky, thinking of the fate of her Son, against the determined and confident gaze of the Child, who turns away from the composition. The imposing column in the background is missing from the original, here monochrome. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
