About the piece
Painted by Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato in the late 17th century, this work exemplifies the artist's signature style of polished, idealized figures and brilliant color. The Virgin is draped in an exceptionally vibrant blue mantle, holding the Christ Child in a warm embrace while a glimpse of a pastoral landscape and a figure of Saint Joseph appear through the arched window in the background.
