Olga Ciardi (XIX-XX), after Carlo Dolci (1616–1686): - Mary Magdalene

LARGE FORMAT ✦ FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE EU ✦ RATED EXCELLENT A splendid oil presumably late 19th century painting made by Olga Ciardi, Florence, Italy, depicting Mary Magdalene after the celebrated composition by Carlo Dolci (1616–1686). Mary is portrayed with an upward, contemplative gaze, holding an ornate vessel of precious ointment, her delicate features and flowing auburn hair beautifully illuminated against a dark, atmospheric background. The crimson mantle, intricately rendered garments, and subtle tonal transitions lend the composition considerable warmth and devotional intensity. The painting is presented in an impressive, elaborately carved and gilded Florentine frame. Carlo Dolci was a distinguished Italian Baroque painter born in Florence, renowned for his exquisitely finished religious paintings, refined colouring, and tender, deeply expressive figures. A pupil of Jacopo Vignali, he devoted much of his career to sacred subjects, developing a meticulous technique that became characteristic of the Florentine school. His celebrated depictions of Mary Magdalene are particularly admired for their delicate beauty and atmosphere of spiritual contemplation. This elegant later interpretation pays homage to Dolci's enduring artistic legacy and the devotional painting tradition of Florence. A marvellous addition to any discerning art collection. ⦿ Signed verso: Olga Ciardi ⦿ Dimensions (approx.): 57 x 78 cm (artwork), 86 x 105 cm (incl. frame/total). ⦿ Condition: Exhibits an authentic patina of age (see pictures) i.e. old varnish and some craquelure. ⦿ Estimated Period: late 19th century, perhaps early 20th century ⦿ Please note: Frame included gratis; comes as a gift and should be treated as such. ⦿ Shipping: Fast dispatch ✓ Tracked ✓ Insured ✓ Eco-friendly ✓ – Dispatched from Germany, or local (free coffee:)) pick-up available.
