THE MADONNA IS PORTRAYED WITH DELICATE AND GENTLE FEATURES, HER FACE CANDID, WITH THE PREVALENCE OF WHITE AND PALE PINK, HER EYES LARGE AND SAD, STARING INTENSELY. THE HEAD IS SLIGHTLY BOWED TO THE LEFT. THE LIPS ARE HALF-CLOSED. HIS FACE IS PORTRAYED WITH AN EXPRESSION CHARGED WITH EMOTION THAT THE ARTIST MANAGES TO CONVEY IMMEDIATELY TO THE OBSERVER. THE DELICATE DRAPERY OF THE GOLD AND BLUE HEADDRESS IS ACCENTUATED BY THE INTENSE CHIAROSCURO THE ARTIST USES TO GIVE VOLUMINOSITY TO THE FIGURE AND THE GARMENT. IN ADDITION, THE FIGURE IS ENHANCED BY THE COLOUR CONTRAST BETWEEN THE PREVAILING BLUE OF THE HEADDRESS AND THE MONOCHROME BACKGROUND OF A DEEP, LUMINOUS RED. FOR THE EXPRESSIVENESS OF THE SACRED FACE, THE PLASTICITY OF THE FIGURE AND THE INTENSE CHIAROSCURO EFFECTS, THE ARTIST RECALLS THE STYLE OF RELIGIOUSLY THEMED FIGURES AND COMPOSITIONS OF THE 1000 AND 1300S (GIOTTO, MASACCIO). AT THE SAME TIME, THE REFERENCE TO ICONOGRAPHIC ART IN THE BYZANTINE TRADITION IS EVIDENT. IN FACT, AS IN ORTHODOX SACRED ART, THE ICON DEPICTED IS WITHOUT PLACE AND WITHOUT TIME. THERE IS NO LANDSCAPE IDENTIFICATION, THERE ARE NO OTHER ELEMENTS AND FIGURES TO COMPLETE THE SCENE. THE ICON IS THE ARCHETYPE THAT AWAKENS IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS A SPIRITUAL VISION, HOVERING BETWEEN THE REALISTIC AND THE IDEAL, ACTING AS AN INTERMEDIARY WITH THE DIVINE.THERE IS LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTIST WHO EXECUTED THE PAINTING: FROM WHAT EMERGES AS A RESULT OF RESEARCH CARRIED OUT IN ART CATALOGUES AND ON THE WEB, IT IS AN ITALIAN ARTIST ACTIVE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WHO SPECIALISED IN RELIGIOUS PAINTINGS, PARTICULARLY IN THE PORTRAYAL OF ICONS OF THE VIRGIN MARY, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE REPRESENTED HIS EXCLUSIVE ARTISTIC INTEREST AND IN WHICH HE HAS PERFECTED HIMSELF, REACHING AN EXCELLENT STYLISTIC LEVEL.
