Spanish school of the first third of the seventeenth century."Virgin of the Popolo".Oil on canvas. Relined.Presents repainting.Measurements: 122 x 93 cm; 135 x 107 cm (frame).We are in front of the representation of a Virgin and Child that, by the quality of the tones used and the delicate workmanship of the faces, may belong to the Sevillian school of the seventeenth century. Iconographically, it follows a compositional model inspired by the "Madonna del Popolo". It is an alleged portrait of the Virgin made by St. Luke, patron saint of painters, an icon currently preserved in the church of the same name in Rome. Thus, we see the Virgin half-length, dressed in purple tunic and dark cloak, holding in her arms the child, who also wears tunic and cloak, although in green and golden colors. Jesus raises his right hand with two fingers extended, as a sign of blessing. Following the model of the icon of the "Madonna del Popolo", the figures show hieratic and solemn positions, and the gaze is fixed in front, without looking at each other. However, the modeling of the faces and hands shows a clear classical influence, since it is markedly sculptural.
