Francesco De Mura, “Madonna with Child,” oil on canvas, 18th century
The painting Madonna with Child by Francesco De Mura is an oil on canvas of refined elegance, typical of the 18th-century sensibility of the Neapolitan artist.
The work depicts a sweet and intimate maternal scene: the Madonna, portrayed with delicate features and a serene gaze directed towards her Son, holds the naked Baby Jesus in her arms, who rests naturally on his mother's lap. The composition conveys a strong sense of tenderness and spiritual contemplation.
The painting is embellished with a splendid carved golden frame, richly decorated with plant motifs and Baroque volutes, which further enhance the work.
