Object description :

"Allegory Of Charity \ Maternity "

The subject finds an inspired iconographic vein in the ancient tradition; our painting paraphrases earlier subjects inspired by Carlo Cignani, yet presents influences that can be traced back to Roman traditions. This allegory presents the gesture of breast-feeding as an expression of generosity and dedication, starting from a construction that does not stray far from the depiction of a Madonna and Child with St. John in a circularity of gestures and gazes that finds centrality in the young female figure while two children are beside her, and one sleeps under the half-light of the veil.
