Large oil on linen painting depicting the Madonna holding the Christ Child, set within a stylized landscape. The composition features a serene Virgin Mary draped in a blue mantle, holding the infant Christ before a symbolic still life element in the foreground. An angel figure appears in the background, contributing to the devotional narrative. The work reflects Antonio Gattorno’s distinctive modernist interpretation of religious themes, combining classical subject matter with simplified forms and subtle surrealist elements. Signed and dated “Gattorno 1946” lower left.
