Giovanni Battista PIAZZETTA (Workshop of)
Venice, 1683 – Venice, 1754
Oil on canvas
48 x 38.5 cm (64 x 58 cm with frame)
Piazzetta produced a number of "portraits" of saints or profane in small formats and in a tight frame. Our painting of the Virgin and Child can be compared to the Hisch collection sold at Sotheby's in London in 1971, but also a "fruit seller" by Piazzetta kept at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Or a holy family from the Morandotti collection in Rome.
But Piazzetta especially produced several "Virgins in the Book", a subject traditionally linked to the Virgin of the Annunciation, the Virgin Mary reading the psalms when the angel Gabriel came to visit her ("Madonna in prayer", Sotheby's New York in 1979, Madonnina orante, Pinacotheque de Vicenze, exhibited in 1982, the "Santa Vergine Maria" represented with a book, print of a missing painting and The Blessed Virgin praying with her hands joined with a book placed in front of her (the last two reproduced in the Center of documentation from the Louvre Museum)).
We recognize the style of the great Venetian master in particular the roundness of the modeling, the strange shape of the hands and the muted colors, the complexion very in the paste and the sense of the material in the fabrics and the objects (in particular here the beautiful effects of the pages of the little prayer book of the Virgin).
