Title: Virgin and Child (Copy from Bartolomé Esteban Murillo) Technique: Oil on Canvas Estimated Period: 19TH CENTURY A Masterpiece of Intimacy and Devotion We offer a splendid and faithful copy of the famous composition of the Virgin and Child by the Spanish Baroque master, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682). The original reference for this work is among Murillo's most beloved Marian depictions, known for having infused his sacred subjects with a rare combination of ethereal grace and profound humanity. Painting Details The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated, wrapped in drapery with rich, vibrant tones: a salmon pink dress and a large cloak of an intense midnight blue/petrol green that falls elegantly in voluminous folds. The colors create a strong contrast with the dark and neutral background, a distinctive feature of Spanish Baroque painting, which enhances the luminosity of the figures. The Child Jesus, with a lively expression and a luminous halo (as visible in the detail), rests on the Mother's knees and in her arms. His dynamic pose and penetrating gaze establish an immediate and touching connection with the observer. The pictorial quality of the copy stands out for: Softness of features: It reflects the sweetness and tenderness typical of Murillo, particularly in the faces of the Virgin and Child. Sfumato Effect: The skillful use of shading gives softness to the flesh and the contour of the figures. Warm Luminosity: An internal light seems to emanate from the Child, emphasizing the sacred character and intimacy of the moment. This painting is not just an iconographic reproduction, but a work that captures the emotion and devotion of the subject, honoring the mastery of the original. Its visual impact makes it ideal for collectors of sacred art or for those who desire a piece of great visual and historical-artistic impact. Conditions and Dimensions Conditions: Excellent.
