Framed in a beautiful Baroque-style wood frame, this lovely depiction of the Madonna of the Street, which has been a favorite image for Christians for many years now, is reproduced once again for you to enjoy. Roberto Ferruzzi, the Madonna of the Street artist, first displayed it publicly in 1897 in Venice for an exhibition. Ferruzzi never intended his artwork to be a religious painting, but the down-to-earth depiction was perceived as a touching image of a simply dressed Virgin Mary holding her son and became 'Madonna of the Street' since many new Italian immigrants could identify with her. The popularity of Madonna of the Street continues to this day and we now offer you this wonderful interpretation.

In this Madonna of the Street print, she shines with inner beauty and the subtle colors nicely harmonize with any room decor. The model for the Madonna of the Street painting was discovered by a Catholic nun researching her family roots and she was amazed to learn her Italian aunt's sister - the nun's own mother, had posed. This Madonna of the Street measures 12 x 16 inches. The Madonna of the Street reproduction is of fine quality and does not require glass.
