Baptism of Christ Leonardo dm 6 cm particular Bottega Tifernate retouch

Baptism of Christ Leonardo dm 6 cm particular Bottega Tifernate retouch.This elegant round, 7 cm in diameter, belongs to the Linea Aurea by Bottega Tifernate, and depicts a well-known detail of the painting called ''Baptism of Christ'' by Andrea del Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci, namely the dove of the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus at the moment of baptism by St. John the Baptist. Each item in the Linea Aurea by Bottega Tifernate is an exclusive work of art, created and finished by hand with a gold leaf retouch by qualified painters with academic training.
The technique:The Linea Aurea by Bottega Tifernate stands out for its high-quality artistic works created through the patented technique of pictography, created by maestro 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 "fresco" technique 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 work, originally created for the Vallombrosan monastery of San Salvi, initially saw the painting of Verrocchio, who structured the composition and began to paint the main figures of Christ and the Baptist. Later, two other artists intervened and took care of the less successful elements such as the palm, the landscape and the face of the angel seen from the front. The final phase saw the intervention of Leonardo da Vinci, a pupil of Verrocchio, who dedicated himself to completing and harmonizing the painting. The tondo comes with a certificate of authenticity. A hook on the back makes the work suitable as a decorative wall element.
