Italian school, following GIOVANNI BATISTA SALVI ; "Il Sassoferrato" (Sassoferrato, 1609 - Rome, 1685). I; 17th century. "Madonna of the Annunciation". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents Repainting and restorations on the pictorial surface. Measurements: 55 x 57 cm; 78 x 81 cm (frame). Regarding the thematic allusive to the Virgin of the Annunciation, the iconographic tradition gathers a more narrative scene, in which the Archangel Gabriel appears to the Virgin, to transfer the news to her that she is pregnant. Normally the Virgin is placed behind an altar or table, where a book or white lilies, iconographic attributes associated with the Virgin, are usually placed. However, over the centuries the elements began to be reduced as can be seen in important works that collect the same iconography of the annunciation, based exclusively on the representation of the Virgin. An example of this is The Madonna of the Annunciation of Messina. Aesthetically he follows the models established by Giovanni Battista Salvi, Italian Baroque painter appreciated, above all, for the creation of devotional images in which he united the Bolognese classicist current and the tenebrism of caravaggista tradition, with a great variety of models and much diffusion, which often makes it difficult to be able to attribute works to him with certainty. He began his training at the hand of his father, Tarquinio Salvi, extending it with Domenichino. He settled permanently in Rome, soon achieving a certain success for his gentle painting, allowing him to establish in the city an important workshop that would repeat the schemes and style of the master. His work is preserved in important institutions such as the National Gallery in London, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the Barberini Palace in Rome, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, etc. It presents Repainting and restorations on the pictorial surface.
