Madonna With Child And Saint John

The iconographic features of the work present traces of drawings and scenes taken from Pietro da Cortona. The multiple references to the master find precise confirmation by observing the structural scheme and the description of the landscape formulated in the Madonna with Child and Saint John the Baptist. The canvas in question instead presents a different pictorial ductus, more classicizing, delicate, embellished by a luminosity and a greater attention in describing the details, according to expressive norms that we find in the works of Ciro Ferri (Rome 1633 - 1689), a student of Cortona, CIRO FERRI, the only one entitled to 'finish the works left imperfect by him'. To this hypothesis. The critical success of our canvas is also testified by various derivations of inferior quality. misure tela cm 87x71 cornice cm 102x82
