Circa: 1920's
Condition: Excellent Original Condition
Size: Frame Measurements: Height - 7” Width - 5”
This is a beautiful crisp and detailed antique print of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus surrounded by 6 Angels. All of their faces are exquisitely detailed! The colors are bright and vivid. Both the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus have a halo and are bathed in a heavenly light from above. The artist of this picture is the famous, Sandro Botticelli and the actual title for this picture (although not written anywhere) is, "The Madonna of the Pomegranate". The molded wood frame retains the original gold finish with black and red trim color. It has a nice old patina. The picture and frame are both in excellent original condition with the original hanger and labels on the back. The top label reads, "Virgin and Six Angels By Botticelli". The middle label towards the bottom reads, "For Elizabeth + Buckstien". The bottom label reads, "From Aunt Nell". Circa 1920’s.
*** I’ve included below some VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PICTURE, "THE MADONNA OF THE POMEGRANATE":
The Madonna of the Pomegranate is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, circa 1487. It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, Italy.
The picture's title is explained by the pomegranate in Mary's hand: this could be understood as symbolizing Christ's Passion, the wealth of seeds conveying the fullness of Christ's suffering. It could also be understood as a symbol of heretical art and signify the fertility of Jesus. A comparison of this painting with Botticelli's earlier tondo, Madonna of the Magnificat, reveals that the artist has now arranged the angels symmetrically, thereby avoiding the compositional difficulties of the older depiction.
The Christ Child, whose hand is raised in blessing, is lying securely in the arms of Mary, but the sad, melancholy expression on the faces of mother and child are intended to remind the observer of the torments the Son of God will suffer in the future. The angels are venerating Mary with lilies and garlands of roses. The Rosary is a prayer that was created in its present form in the 15th century, and rapidly became widespread. The beginning of this prayer is embroidered on the left angel's stola: AVE MARIA GRAZIA PLENA ("Hail Mary, full of grace").

*** Here is a short little BIO ABOUT FAMOUS LISTED ARTIST, SANDRO BOTTICELLI:
Original name ALESSANDRO DI MARIANO FILIPEPI (b. 1445, Florence [Italy]--d. May 17, 1510, Florence), Florentine early Renaissance painter whose Birth of Venus (c. 1485) and Primavera (1477-78) are often said to epitomize for modern viewers the spirit of the Renaissance. His ecclesiastical commissions included work for all the major churches of Florence and for the Sistine Chapel in Rome. His name is derived from his elder brother Giovanni, a pawnbroker, who was called Il Botticello ("The Little Barrel").
Although he was one of the most individual painters of the Italian Renaissance, Sandro Botticelli remained little known for centuries after his death. Then his work was rediscovered late in the 19th century by a group of artists in England known as the Pre-Raphaelites.
Born Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi in Florence in 1445, Botticelli was apprenticed to a goldsmith. Later he was a pupil of the painter Fra Filippo Lippi. He spent all his life in Florence except for a visit to Rome in 1481-82. There he painted wall frescoes in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican.
