Sacred scene of motherhood, oil on canvas, 18th century
Oil on canvas. This sacred maternity scene depicts Mary gazing straight ahead while the Child turns his gaze to her, placing his arms around her neck. It is therefore the Mother who is the protagonist, the one who engages in conversation with the viewer, to whom she presents her Son, yet encircling him with her arm, separating and protecting him from the world. The canvas has been previously relined. The work is presented in a period frame.
