About the piece

Painted around 1645 by Massimo Stanzione, this work exemplifies the Neapolitan Baroque style with its elegant figures and dramatic chiaroscuro. The Virgin Mary gazes thoughtfully toward the viewer while supporting the infant Jesus, whose lively pose and bright skin tones contrast with the deep shadows. The rich palette of reds, blues, and golds in the fabric highlights Stanzione's mastery of color and texture.
