This engraving by Agostino Carracci depicts the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus seated on a crescent moon, framed by cherubic figures. The work, created in 1589, reflects Carracci's classical approach to religious art.
Agostino Carracci (1557-1602) was an Italian painter, printmaker, and art theorist. Along with his brother Annibale and cousin Ludovico, he was instrumental in founding the Bolognese School of painting, which sought to revive classical ideals in reaction to Mannerism. Carracci's work is characterised by its emphasis on naturalism, clarity, and emotional expression. He produced a substantial body of prints, known for their technical skill and artistic refinement. His engravings were widely circulated and influential in disseminating the Carracci's artistic ideas. 'Madonna and Child Seated on a Crescent Moon' is an engraving that depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a crescent moon, cradling the infant Jesus. Two cherubic figures hover above. The composition is framed within an oval border, with radiating lines suggesting a divine aura. The figures are rendered with careful attention to anatomy and drapery, typical of Carracci's classical approach. The print bears the inscription 'ILL. ET ECCELL. PRINCIPI MARIA MEDICES 1589', indicating that it was likely commissioned by or dedicated to Maria de' Medici.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
