Jacopo Amigoni (Naples or Venice 1682 - Madrid 1752) was one of the most important masters of eighteenth-century European painting, known for his elegant style that helped spread Venetian Rococo painting throughout Europe.

Amigoni stood out for his light, decorative style, less dramatic than many of his Venetian contemporaries, characterized by graceful figures in elegant poses and a pale color palette, reflected in the subjects' fabrics and skin. This approach, closely related to French painting, fully embraced the elegance and lightheartedness of the Rococo movement, making the artist a success. He was sought after and acclaimed in all of the continent's cultural capitals, including London, Paris, Bavaria, and Madrid, where he served as court painter.

Our Madonna and Child revisits, with a new and original composition, one of the artist's favorite sacred themes. The Virgin, with childlike features and a sense of emotion, holds the sweet Child in her arms, abandoned to sleep and with plump, rosy cheeks, while at their side a delightful young Saint John watches them in prayer. The work reflects all the master's signature stylistic features, including the chromatic lightness of the almost porcelain-like flesh tones, the intense cobalt blue, and the red robe contrasting with the white sheet.
