Description : Madonna con il Bambino, tra Sant' Ansano e Santa Caterina da Sena
Oil on panel. The work is accompanied by an expert report by Professor Mauro Minardi, who attributes the painting to the work of Bartolomeo Neroni, known as Riccio, an artist active in Siena in the 16th century, through a documented comparison of the pictorial elements of this work with others by the same artist. The painting features a subject that was widely used in the Sienese artistic scene of the 16th century: a Madonna and Child with Saints. In this tondo, Mary is depicted half-length, holding the Baby Jesus, who stands before her on a support surface: the hands of mother and child are intertwined in a gesture of tenderness. To their sides, in the background, are two figures of saints, among those most venerated in Siena: on the right, Saint Catherine, recognizable by her black monastic habit with a white veil and wimple, and holding the traditional lily, a symbol of purity; On the left is a lesser-known saint, Saint Ansanus, a young knight who lived in Siena in the 3rd century, then a Roman colony, where he preached Christianity and was martyred. The young saint is depicted holding a flagpole in one hand and a spherical object in the other, which, according to his iconography, should represent a heart. The work therefore falls within the devotional painting style that was widespread in the 16th century, to which Riccio and his studio devoted considerable effort, given the large number of similar examples that have survived and are attributed to him, thanks in part to fortunate documentation for some of them. The painting's images are inscribed in a gilded frame embossed in the same panel. The back of the panel is reinforced with parquetry. There are some paint losses.

Additional Information
Artist: Bartolomeo Neroni, detto il Riccio (1510 ca.-1571)
The exact date of birth of Sienese Bartolomeo Neroni is unknown, although it can be dated to the first decade of the 16th century. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, and miniaturist, and also enjoyed great fame during his lifetime as a military engineer, set designer, and architect. He entered the workshop of Sodoma and learned the rudiments of painting there. Thanks to his talent, he became the master's favorite pupil, becoming his son-in-law and heir after marrying his daughter Faustina in 1543. His painting later drew influence from Domenico Beccafumi and the Mannerist style. Neroni, moreover, established himself early, as evidenced by the commission he received in 1536 to decorate the residence that hosted Emperor Charles V during his stay in the city. His most successful pictorial phase can be dated between the 1540s and 1550s. His paintings are mostly located in the city of Siena, but he also worked extensively in the province (his works are found in Ancaiano, Asciano, Chiusure, Sovicille, Monterotondo Marittimo, and Sinalunga), as well as in Lucca and Genoa. His greatest work is considered the Coronation of the Virgin, housed in the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena. He died in his hometown in 1571.Artistic school: Central-Italian school

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.Technical specification: Oil on Board
