Description
Germany, 19th century
Follower of Johann Christian Thomas Wink (1738-1797) – German painter, etcher and graphic artist
Brass sign on the frame with ‘Chr. Wink’
Dimensions of panel: 89.9 x 63.4 cm
Traditional Marian depiction with the Christ child based on works from the Renaissance
This painting shows in the characteristic iconography of Marian depictions the beautiful Virgin with the Christ child. Madonna carries her son with both her hands and Jesus, too, holds tight to his mother’s collar. The heads of both are surrounded by aureoles. Their face expressions are serious, almost sad, both already know about their destiny.
A brass sign is attached to the frame reading ‘Chr. Wink’. The work bears signs of age and wear. The once oval canvas was laid down on a wooden panel. The surface shows craquelure as well as scattered cracks and blemishes. The edges display slight color loss where the frame has rubbed and under UV-light several touch-ups appear, especially at the lower part. The dimensions of the panel measure 89.9 x 63.4 cm, while the framed dimensions are 102.5 x 75.6 cm. (nlu)
