Unknown Author - Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). This work also features the figure of the Infant Saint John.

The work interprets the subject with a highly classicist spirit. The artist, in fact, executes the work according to the values ​​of harmony and balance typical of the Italian tradition. This inspiration from classicism and Renaissance values ​​can also be deduced from the way the artist seeks monumentality in the group and an exaltation of volumes and space in a landscape of great naturalistic rendering.

The artist who executed this work can be identified as a worthy representative of the 18th-century classicist style. This is evident in the work's formal balance, evident in both the composition and the pictorial style, which maintains a harmony and rigor still close to Renaissance naturalism. Likewise, the calm sentiments expressed in the overall atmosphere of the work, which harks back to an intimate and domestic religious conception, are typical of the classicist movement, in stark contrast to the excesses of the Baroque.
