Giovan Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato (Sassoferrato, 1609 - Roma, 1685) - Oil on canvas; cm 70 x 60
The painting, realized by Sassoferrato is considered a re-elaboration of the work produced by Guido Reni.
It represents the Virgin in the act of praying and we can see this by her jouned hands and by her humble expression and suffering face which is turned towards the spectator. In this work Sassoferrato yet again confirms his tendency to carryout devotional images which are intended to accentuate the subject worryng about placing him in clear-cut setting.
