Antique Painting Madonna del Granduca Follower of Raphael Early 19th Century

This is a beautiful Italian School oil on canvas painting after Raphael, depicting the ‘Madonna del Granduca’ in it's original and beautiful giltwood Florentine frame, Circa 1800 in date. This painting is after the original in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence and it is characterized by tender human emotion, soft lighting, and balanced, in pyramidal compositions. She is wearing a long cloak that begins in a veil over her head which then cascades downwards and in doing so emphasises the long vertical lines of the frame. Instead of the baby being held at shoulder height the Christ Child is tenderly held and supported by her at almost waist level. It is almost as if the characters are painted to fit with the long length of the frame. This has allowed Mary to be shown in a more majestic and venerable pose. There is a dignified look about Mary but one also detects a look of sadness. Whereas Mary gazes downward in an almost trance-like expression the Christ child is wide eyed and inquisitive. The overall composition, soft colours, and serene expressions evoke the influence of artists like Raphael, known for his balanced and graceful Madonna depictions. The gold ornate frame emphasizes the importance and sacredness of the figures, further enhancing the religious context. After the original in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence. It is a beautiful and spiritual painting which will grace any room in your home.
