Nativity Carlo Maratta diameter 6 cm Bottega Tifernate essential

Nativity Carlo Maratta diameter 6 cm Bottega Tifernate essential. This round, with an actual diameter of 7 cm, represents the work called ''Nativity'', by the painter from the Marche Carlo Maratta and is part of the Aurea line by Bottega Tifernate. Each piece is an exclusive work of art, created and finished by hand by qualified painters with specialized training, ideal as a wedding favor or high-end gift.
The technique:The Aurea line by Bottega Tifernate stands out for its high-quality artistic works created using the patented technique of pictography, created by master Stefano Lazzari. This method allows the creation of reproductions that maintain all the aesthetic qualities of an authentic painting. Years of dedicated research and study in the field of painting and restoration have enabled the Città di Castello workshop to faithfully restore the methods and recipes that the Renaissance masters applied in their creations on fresco, panel and canvas. For the frescoes, the same type of lime used by Giotto is used, a pure lime, free of salts and alkalis that could damage the work over time. The technique used is the ''a fresco'' with gold leaf intervention, which allows the colors to blend perfectly with the lime pigment during drying, thus ensuring a long-lasting and harmonious integration. The pigments used are oxide-based, which ensures that the intensity of the color remains unchanged over time.
The work:The fresco depicts the Virgin Mary in the foreground while she tenderly holds the newborn Jesus in her arms. Around them, five angels devoutly contemplate the child. The dark background accentuates the predominant colors used for the figure of the Virgin, while the illuminated faces of the angels reflect the light emanating from the Child. Each item comes with a certificate of origin. A hook on the back makes the tondo suitable as a decorative wall element.
