A white headdress frames her lowered face, while an intensely blue mantle covers her red dress and pale tunic. The plain dark background removes every secondary detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSassoferrato painted this oil on canvas between 1640 and 1650. Measuring 73 × 57.7 cm, it is numbered NG200 at the National Gallery in London, which received it through the bequest of Richard Simmons in 1846.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mantle is painted with ultramarine, an especially costly pigment at the time. Sassoferrato made several versions of the Virgin alone in prayer; this design focuses attention on her face, hands and the three colours red, white and blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtwork details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle :\u003c\/strong\u003e The Virgin in Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist :\u003c\/strong\u003e Sassoferrato (1609–1685)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate :\u003c\/strong\u003e 1640–1650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium :\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions :\u003c\/strong\u003e 73 × 57.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection :\u003c\/strong\u003e National Gallery, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInventory number :\u003c\/strong\u003e NG200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/art-prints-giovanni-battista-salvi-da-sassoferrato\"\u003eSassoferrato art prints\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artem Legrand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55412881064261,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/1707\/9365\/files\/Giovanni_Battista_Salvi_da_Sassoferrato_-_Madonna_At_Prayer_cadre.webp?v=1755865750","url":"https:\/\/www.artemlegrand.nl\/en\/products\/madonna-in-prayer-giovanni-battista-salvi-da-sassoferrato","provider":"Artem Legrand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
