17th Century Bolognese School

"Madeleine" 17th century Bolognese school Elisabetta Sirani (January 8, 1638 - August 28, 1665) workshop Oil on canvas Sizes 98 x 75 frame 110 x 87 Excellent condition Certificate of authenticity and legal provenance. Painting of excellent pictorial quality and remarkable elegance with obvious stylistic connotations of Baroque Bolognese painting. The combinations with the works of Sirani are clearly found in the refined beauty of the protagonist and in the splendid and decisive color of this important Emilian painting. The clair-faire marked anie the scene which, usually described with drama, in this case presents itself in a more sophisticated guise, where the femininity and the torment of Maddalena are not exasperated but composed and the beauty of her features is not. distorted but rather shown in a perfect way. In addition, the exterior setting, with the blue sky, contributes even more to play down the context and makes the work more pleasant. Sirani often uses this comely model for his paintings with female protagonists, especially to portray Madonna's face. Let's post an example of what leaves no doubt.
