This is a striking antique oil on canvas of 'The Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptiste' after the Renaissance painter Titian, by the skilled Florentine artist, Egisto Manzuoli signed verso, dating from the late 19th century.
Similarly to the original old master painting Manzuoli was able to create an image of ideal harmonious beauty, due to the graceful exchanges of celestial expressions and gestures that link the Madonna, the naked Christ Child - who she is so lovingly keeping in her arms - as well as John the Baptist. The latter holds the reed cross with his left hand, which symbolizes the Crucifixion, and candidly touches the feet of the Child.
It is signed and inscribed 'Egisto Manzuoli Firenze' on the reverse.
