Carlo Cignani (1628–1719) Field of “ Madonna with Child ” Oil on canvas Period: 1680/1720 Measurements: 88 x 67 cm in contemporaneous frame Canvas: 66 x 45.5 cm Frame: Ancient oval wooden gilt frame, with crest decorated with motifs of interlaced ribbons. Description of the work Refined devotional composition depicting the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus in her arms. The Madonna, with a sweet and contemplative expression, wears a pinkish robe and a blue-green mantle, while the Child, characterized by a soft complexion and a lively expressiveness, turns his gaze toward the observer. The work shows stylistic affinities with the classicist tradition of the Bologna school, particularly in the idealization of faces, the delicacy of the chiaroscuro transitions, and the balance of the composition, recalling the painterly models of Carlo Cignani and his circle. State of conservation: recently restored; signs of natural aging of the painting surface and some surface inhomogeneities are noted. Overall in good condition. *** Photographic note The photographic images of the work were made with the aid of professional studio lighting and spotlights, in order to allow better readability of the composition, details and painting surface.
