Description

A rt S tory Fine Art To discover: gorgeous 17th century Neapolitan Old Master. Rare theme for our religious painting of the Virgin Mary holding a red rose in front of a rose bush. The Virgin with the rose designates a theme of Christian iconography. In these artistic representations, the Virgin Mary is accompanied by a symbolic object, a rose, present to invoke love and in particular the "universal love" that the Virgin holds, also called "the rose without thorns". Symbol of love in Greek mythology, the rose is the flower of Aphrodite who gave her beauty, Dionysus, gave her its heady perfume and the three Graces, charm, radiance and joy. In the Middle Ages the rose will become one of the flowers associated with the Virgin Mary; white, it is a symbol of purity; red, it evokes divine love and the Passion of Christ.
