EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Sleeping Christ Child" a masterpiece painted by Sassoferrato in the 17th century. The oil on canvas artwork measures 77x61.4 cm and is currently housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this tender portrayal of baby Jesus, we see him peacefully asleep, surrounded by an ethereal atmosphere. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the delicate features of the sleeping child with remarkable precision. The Madonna, depicted as a loving mother figure, gazes upon her slumbering son with adoration and tenderness. Two cherubs or putti hover above them, their angelic presence adding an air of serenity to the scene. Sassoferrato's skillful use of light and shadow creates a soft glow that illuminates both Mary and Jesus. This technique enhances the sense of tranquility emanating from the painting. "The Sleeping Christ Child" is a timeless representation of innocence and divine love. It serves as a reminder of the profound bond between mother and child while inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty found within religious art. Peter Willi has expertly captured this iconic artwork through his lens, preserving its essence for generations to come. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a world where peace reigns supreme – where even divinity finds solace in sleep.
