Oil on canvas of the Madonna by Torelli, religious antique painting

Description
Oil painting on canvas showing the Immaculate Virgin with Saints Peter, John, Louis and Magdalene.

The work is attributed to Felice Torelli (Verona, 1667 – Bologna, 1748), Italian painter and one of the founders of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna. The composition has a light, luminous palette with echoes of Venetian painting, while the arrangement of the figures shows the influence of the Bolognese school.

Taken as a whole, the work reflects a typically Venetian taste joined to a solid graphic construction of the sacred figures.

The painting needs restoration (as can be seen in the photographs)
