Claudio Cipolletti - Madonna and Child

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). It is quite common for contemporary artists to treat the iconography of motherhood without directly linking it to the Christian religion.

The work of goldsmith Claudio Cipolletti is distinguished by a highly classical and traditional sculptural style. The primary objective is to achieve a perfectly naturalistic rendering of the subjects and the space surrounding them. The composition is organized according to perfect perspective. The Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus occupy nearly the entire surface of the bas-relief, their sculptural volumes emerging from the ample drapery of their robes. Their figures, in their positions and gestures, are virtually complementary, creating, within the overall harmony of the work, a perfect compositional harmony. The formal attention to detail is also impeccable, in the naturalistic rendering of the faces and hands.

Claudio Cipolletti's workshop specializes in gold, silver, and bronze castings, wedding favors, handcrafted religious items, sacred art, and original sacred products.
