Description
A unique 19th-century Italian watercolor that evokes the classic Renaissance iconography of the Madonna and Child. The composition is designed in the tondo format, featuring delicately rendered facial features and a harmonious color palette. The infant Jesus holds an open book in his hand, symbolizing Christian teachings and divine wisdom.
One of the work’s most outstanding features is its exquisitely carved and gilded Sienese Neo-Renaissance frame, created by Carlo Bartolozzi and Nicodemo Ferri around 1870. The frame is adorned with meticulously carved bird, plant, and Renaissance ornamental motifs that evoke the stylistic traditions of 15th- and 16th-century Italian frame art.
