Description
Virgin and Child, Spanish School, 17th century Oil on canvas. The composition depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in a frontal pose, close to the viewer, emphasising the maternal bond through a delicate exchange of gestures and glances. The Child raises his hand in a gesture of blessing whilst holding a small cross, a symbol foreshadowing the Passion, which reinforces the devotional nature of the work. The dark background draws the eye to the illuminated figures, whose faces and complexions stand out through soft gradations of light. The colour scheme combines earthy tones, deep greens and muted reds, creating an intimate and contemplative atmosphere typical of Spanish Baroque religious painting. A restrained brushstroke and delicate modelling are evident, particularly in the drapery and facial expressions. The work follows iconographic models widely used in 17th-century Spanish workshops, intended for private devotion. The gilded frame enhances the solemnity and visual impact of the piece. Dimensions: 86 cm x 62 cm; 112 cm x 82 cm.
