Oil On Copper, Early 17th Century – Madonna And Child, Saint Joseph, And An Angel With Symbols

A refined oil painting on copper dating back to the early 17th century, depicting a sacred scene of profound symbolic intensity: the Madonna sits with the Child Jesus on her lap, offering a bunch of grapes and a pomegranate to an angel—clear Eucharistic references to the future Passion and Resurrection. To the left of the scene appears Saint Joseph, deep in contemplation. The copper support, typical of 17th-century fine art, lends brilliance and definition to the color, enhancing the details of the garments and expressions. The work is framed in a simple yet elegant 18th-century gilded wooden frame, enhancing its devotional character. A small but powerful work, likely intended for private devotion.
