Description

Roman School, c. 1700 Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist Oil on canvas. H_48.5 cm W_37.5 cm (Restored). The classicism that emanates from this painting, through the idealisation of the figures and the monumental architecture suggested in the background, is reminiscent of the work of Nicolas Poussin, the Carracci and Guido Reni. The composition and the drapery reflect an aesthetic based on the pursuit of balance, proportion and nobility. The artist behind this painting was probably an Italian working in Rome around 1700 or a Frenchman staying in the Eternal City to learn the ‘bella maniera’.
