Madonna of the rose garden by Botticelli, d. 2.5 in, essential finish, Bottega Tifernate. This round picture of 2.8 in diameter reproduces the painting "Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist", also called "Madonna of the rose garden" by Sandro Botticelli. This reproduction belongs to the Linea Aurea collection of Bottega Tifernate: each piece is an exclusive work of art, made and finished by hand by qualified painters with specialised academic training, perfect as a favour or a high-quality gift.

The technique
The Linea Aurea collection by Bottega Tifernate stands out for its high quality artistic works created through the patented pictography technique, created by the master Stefano Lazzari. This method allows you to create 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 ''a fresco'' with gold leaf retouch, which allows the colors to blend perfectly with the lime pigment during drying, thus ensuring long-lasting and harmonious integration. The pigments used are oxide-based, which guarantees that the intensity of the color remains unchanged over time.

The painting
In this work, the Madonna, adorned with a halo, tenderly holds the Baby Jesus in her arms, while the young-looking and curly-haired Saint John the Baptist assists the scene. The background is composed of a natural landscape characterised by the presence of roses, which add a rich visual texture to the work. The painting stands out for the delicacy of the faces and the refined rendering of the details, typical of Botticelli's style.Each item comes with a certificate of provenance inside the packaging, adding value to your purchase.
