Painting, sketch, oil on canvas "Madonna of the Rosary" - 19th century.
This painting represents the "Madonna of the Rosary", a very common subject in Catholic sacred art, especially between the 16th and 18th centuries.
The canvas groups the Virgin Mary in a pyramidal display, surrounded by Saint Dominic, Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Vincent Ferrer, Saint Rosalia, and Saint Oliva.
Some key elements that confirm this identification:
• The Madonna in the center, seated on a throne, holding the Child Jesus.
• The Child extends a rosary towards the Saint, a typical gesture in representations of the Madonna of the Rosary.
• Saint Dominic (in the black and white habit of the Dominicans) and Saint Catherine of Siena or another Dominican saint are present.
• A pair of Angels, to the right of the Virgin, support a basket with flower crowns.
• Below there are symbolic elements such as the skull and the cross (memento mori), olive branches, and lilies (symbols of peace and purity).
This iconography is linked to the Battle of Lepanto (1571), after which Pope Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Madonna of the Rosary and made this devotion very popular, especially among the Dominicans.
In the Oratory of the Rosary of Santa Cita in Palermo, the painting of the Madonna of the Rosary above the altar was made by Carlo Maratta in 1695.
The state of conservation is excellent, the painting is on its first canvas, the colors are vibrant, and the pictorial quality is excellent.
