Infant Redeemer Neapolitan school, second half of the 17th century
Neapolitan school, second half of the 17th century
Technique: oil painting on canvas
Dimensions: 74 x 61 cm
Christ Child is represented as the Salvator Mundi, seated in the clouds in the splendor of golden light, with his left hand resting on the Orbe Terrarum. The Child looks directly at the observer and raises his right hand as a sign of blessing. On both sides of Christ, two cherubs hold up the symbols of his Passion, the Crown of Thorns and the nails of the Cross. The subject of Christ the Child as Redeemer was widespread in late 17th-century Neapolitan painting, such as in the works of Mattia Preti and Luca Giordano, just as the work in question can also be attributed to the same school.
Conservation status: good, rintelato, the observation with ultraviolet rays reveals color touches distributed almost everywhere, in a frame
