Painting of the Week - Massimo Stanzione

Madonna and Child
This beautiful Italian religious Old Master oil painting is attributed to circle of Massimo Stanzione. Painted circa 1640, the composition is the Madonna holding baby Jesus as he stands on a table and leans in to her, his arm around her neck. She is dressed in red with a blue shawl and Jesus is partially covered with a white blanket. He is looking out at the viewer, his mother’s face close to him as if whispering to him. It is a very touching painting, still vibrant and in good condition.
Provenance. J.J Patrickson label verso.
