Description

SEBASTIANO CONCA (Gaeta 1680 - Naples 1764) Madonna and Child Oval oil on copper, cm.33 x 24. PROVENANCE Roman family The small painting offered here, represents a splendid example of the production intended for private commissions that constituted a minor but relevant aspect in the activity of the painter and his workshop. As B. De Dominici, about the many paintings kept by Cardinal Ruffa and many Roman patricians, it was the small-format works that made Conca famous, even among the many foreign patrons. The balance now achieved between the classicism of Carlo Maratta, with which the artist was confronted upon his arrival in Rome at the end of the first decade of the 18th century, and the models of his early training, suggest a dating of the painting after the 1930s Condition report No integrative pictorial interventions worthy of mention are noted. The painting is in excellent condition FRAME St. Rose oval frame in gilt and carved wood with palmette and pod borders, 18th century. We would like to thank Prof. Nicola Spinosa, Prof. Daniele Benati, Prof. Alessandro Agresti and Prof. F. Petrucci for confirming the assignment with oral opinion
