Madonna in prayer, oil painting on canvas of Italian school from the 18th century

Fascinating religious painting of the Italian school, made in oil on canvas in the 18th century. This valuable work depicts the Madonna in prayer and draws inspiration from a famous painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato (1609 – Rome 1685). The original work, renowned for its iconography, has enjoyed great success and has been studied and reproduced by numerous lesser-known artists over the centuries. The wooden frame has been reinforced on the back to ensure its stability and durability over time. The thin external frame, not contemporary, completes the work without diminishing its historical and artistic significance. Price negotiable.
