About the Item
Lombard painter active in the 17th century
Infant Jesus
Oil painting on canvas
70 x 82 cm. - In antique frame 78 x 91 cm.
This painting depicts an unusual and pleasant iconographic theme, occasionally used by the Christian tradition but represented here following a peculiar iconography that places the Divine child lying on a white cloth spread in a small and low straw manger; the sacred scene is set in a kind of childish alcove, from which a natural glimpse opens up in the background, with white sheets and pillows.
Jesus is awake and scrutinizes directed towards the observer, not asleep as in most of this type of work, and in a serene and lively attitude, with the lightheartedness of any newborn child, and above all the scene is devoid of the usual attributes of the Passion. or other references that can evoke his future of sacrifice.
It is therefore a sacred painting which, by virtue of its probable destination as an auspicious gift for a birth, is not enveloped in any excess of religiosity.
Next to the small one is a cartouche with the biblical inscription "Deliciae meae esse cum filiis hominum" (Prov. VII, 31). This message finds its foundation in the invitation to every man, from an early age, to be virtuous, citing as a motivation the great love that God pours out on man, especially since he is a child. Hence the meaning of the phrase Deliciae meae esse cum filiis hominum, that is, '' I have placed my delights among the children of man '', because they are innocent and pure, and therefore have not yet become prey to vice.
Particularly remarkable are the delicate complexion and the care with which the features of his face have been defined, so realistic that we could therefore assume it was a real portrait.
The tenderly natural interpretation reveals a representation made by an artist active in the full seventeenth century: with greater precision we can attribute the execution to an Italian (or Flemish) painter active in Lombardy (compare some maternities of Giulio Cesare Procaccini, from which our author must necessarily have been inspired by the representation of the child).
The work is in good condition and comes complete with a beautiful gilded wooden frame.

- Portrait Mignard Paint Oil on canvsa Old master 17th Century French Lady WomanLocated in Riva del Garda, ITPierre Mignard, known as Le Romain (Troyes 1612 - Paris 1695), attributed Portrait of 'Louise Renée de Penancoët de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth and Aubigny (Brest 1649 - Paris 1734) as MADDALENA Oil on canvas 97 x 88 cm In an important gilded frame 132 x 122 cm. Provenance: Private collection, Naples The young and attractive noblewoman portrayed in this painting is Louis Renée de Penancoet de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth and Aubigny (Brest 1649 - Paris 1734), known to have been King Charles II's favourite mistress for over fifteen years, from whose relationship Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond, was born, but above all to have gone down in history as one of Louis XIV's French informants at the English court. The duchess was a very influential figure at court, promoting French interests and often acting as an intermediary between the king, his ministers and French ambassadors. After the death of Charles II this influence quickly came to an end, forcing her to hastily leave London and renounce all her possessions to return to her homeland, between Aubigny-sur-Nère and Paris, where she died in 1734, always remaining in the sovereign's good graces. The peculiarity of the portrait, probably executed after her return to her homeland, is that the noblewoman takes the form of a charming Mary Magdalene, depicted here following her renunciation of earthly possessions, her rich robes and jewellery, in order to aspire to heavenly riches; We see her immortalised with her long hair loose on one breast, her intriguing but serene gaze directed at the observer, as she rests her crossed hands, as if in prayer, on the ampulla of perfumed ointments and the open book, both iconographic symbols. The custom of being portrayed in the guise of Magdalene was in vogue for powerful women of the great European courts as early as the 16th century, as it represented the most appropriate image to justify the union of female power and virtue. It must be said that court culture exalted only the positive characteristics of her personality, glossing over or downplaying all references to her sinful past and dissolute life. The work, whose style fits perfectly into 17th century French portraiture, suggests the pertinent attribution to the Baroque painter Pierre Mignard (Troyes, 1612 - Paris, 1695), whose works were highly praised and earned him a great reputation as a portrait painter for the demanding Parisian aristocracy at the time of Louis XIV, and who portrayed the Duchess de Kérouaille on numerous occasions. His first important artistic training took place in Simon Vouet's studio, and he then moved to Italy for over twenty years before returning to Paris, blending his own with the influence of Roman classicism. The elegant looseness of touch and sensual refinement typical of Mignard, combined with a very accurate chiaroscuro rendering, inherited from his artistic training in Rome (which he looked up to the examples of Ferdinad Voet), and the exceptional sweetness of the drawing, the floridity of the complexion and the almost enamelled surfaces, and finally, the peculiar pose of the figure portrayed (the beauty of the two intertwined hands...Category
