18th Century Painting Madonna With Child And Saint John

Beautiful oil painting on canvas dating back to the Piemontese school of the early 18th century. The work depicts the Madonna with the Baby Jesus in her arms and next to them is the infant Saint John. On the banner of the Virgin's dress is written "Ecce Agnus Dei", which means "Behold the Lamb of God". A particularly notable aspect of this painting is the great realism and attention to pictorial detail. The faces of the characters are rendered in a delicate and tactile manner, with serene and sweet expressions. The folds of the fabrics are painted extremely accurately, giving a sense of depth and three-dimensionality to the work. The painting is in an excellent state of conservation. The work is inside an ancient frame, made of carved and painted pine wood.
