A Superb high quality Antique c.1800 Oil Painting Madonna of the Walk, Circle of Raphael & G.F. Penni
This exceptional antique oil painting is attributed to the circle of Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio, 1483–1520) and Giovanni Francesco Penni (1496–1528), one of Raphael’s closest pupils and collaborators. Titled Madonna of the Walk, the composition dates to the early 16th century (circa 1518–1520) and exemplifies the serene elegance and devotional tenderness that define Raphael’s mature style.
Set within a tranquil landscape, the Virgin Mary is depicted with the Christ Child and the young Saint John the Baptist in a tender and harmonious arrangement. The figures’ delicate modeling, balanced composition, and luminous palette reflect the profound influence of Raphael’s workshop and the refined hand of Penni, often called “Il Fattore,” who was instrumental in the execution of many of Raphael’s later works.
The painting is presented in a richly carved and gilded antique frame, enhancing its historic and aesthetic presence. It is a remarkable representation of High Renaissance religious art, combining technical mastery with spiritual grace.
