Provenance Vente aux enchères Christie's 9.11.1998 lot 63

Large oil painting on canvas depicting the Virgin with Child and three festive cherubs intent on worshiping him.

The particular finesse and the warm and bright colors lead to place it in the Genoese production of the second half of the 17th century and more precisely in the workshop of the great master Domenico Piola (Genoa 1627-1703).

The work is evidently of exquisite workmanship and expresses with extreme elegance the pictorial characteristics of the Genoese Baroque, one of the most important artistic movements of the Italian pictorial panorama of the 17th century.

Piola was an excellent interpreter together with his friend and teacher Valerio Castello

Excellent condition of the canvas with a very healthy and perfectly clean paint layer.

Old relining done in a workmanlike manner.

Canvas size 109 x 86 Frame 130 x 106
