Description
Andalusian School, 18th century.
"Virgin of the Rosary". Following models by ALONSO CANO (Granada, 1601-1667).
Oil on canvas.
Re-drawn.
It has on the back a cartouche with an anonymous text (not certifiable) that attributes this painting to Alonso Cano.
Measurements: 63 x 50 cm
This painting is inspired by the "Virgen del Rosario" by Alonso Cano, painted around 1665 and located in the Cathedral of Malaga.
Against a sky with a golden, vaporous texture, the figures in the foreground stand out. Mary, dressed in a reddish robe with a blue cloak that slides down her arms, holds the Christ Child on her lap, holding a rosary in her left hand. Four cherubs, worked in various foreshortenings, float around the cloud that holds the group in an ethereal condition. In both composition and execution, the painting brings to mind Alonso Cano's "Virgin of the Rosary". Specifically, it is inspired by the upper part of the painting, omitting the representation of the group of saints that the master from Granada placed in the lower part. Furthermore, it does not claim to be faithful to the original (see variations in postures, gestures and attributes), but it does claim to be faithful to the creative spirit of Cano, one of the most outstanding figures of the Andalusian Baroque.
