Das vorliegende, schöne Gemälde steht wichtigen Werken Orazio Gentileschis nahe, der zu den Hauptfiguren des römischen Carravaggisums der ersten beiden Dekaden des 17. Jahrhunderts gehört. Die ausgewogene Komposition, die raffinierte, chromatische Farbpalette, der feine Ausdruck und die Gesten der beiden Figuren wurden inspiriert von Gentileschis „Madonna mit Kind“, heute im Fogg Museum, Cambridge (Mass.) und der „Vision der Heiligen Francesca“, heute in der Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino.

MADONNA WITH SLEEPING CHILD
Oil on canvas. Relined.

Framed.

This beautiful painting is closely related to some important works by Orazio Gentileschi, one of the protagonists of the Roman Caravaggesque movement during the first two decades of the 17th century. The well-balanced composition, the refined chromatic palette, the delicate expressions and gestures of the two figures are clearly inspired in particular by his “Virgin and Child” held in the Fogg Museum of Cambridge (Mass.) and by the “Mystic vision of S. Francesca Romana” of the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino.
