Gondos Ernöné After Naddo Ceccarelli, Icon
A beautiful copy of Naddo Ceccarelli’s (active 1330-1360) Madonna and Child by Hungarian painter, Gondos Ernöné. Several devotional works depicting the Madonna and Child have been attributed to Ceccarelli and the original of this particular piece is currently on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest.
Naddo Ceccarelli was a gifted pupil of Sienese painter Simone Martini (c. 1284-1344) and he’s best known for creating sumptuous reliquaries using a technique known as gold-ground painting. In devotional medieval works, holy figures were often placed against gold backgrounds to symbolise their proximity to God. A layer of paint was then scratched off to create decorative effects, such as gold brocade fabric.
Prior to the 14th-century, reliquaries were usually the domain of expert goldsmiths, but Naddo Ceccarelli was one of the early pioneers in creating reliquaries using tempera over a gold-ground. Elements of his paintings often seem to gleam like actual metalwork due to his skilful incised designs.
This early 20th-century reproduction was created by Gondos Ernöné who also chose to work in tempera. It’s nicely done and faithfully carries the poignancy of the original.
Medium: Tempera on wood
Size: 20½” x 14” / 52cm x 35.5cm
Year of creation: c. 1910
Condition: Some cloudy areas on the left-hand side and various scuffs and scratches to the wood itself. A few cracks to the front of the wood but these may have existed prior to painting (and utilised for their decorative appearance). Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England. Established in 2017, our clients include private collectors and interiors designers throughout the UK, USA and Canada.
We tend to focus on decorative art that captures the imagination - from monumental 17th-century portraits through to characterful vintage landscapes. Every piece in the collection has an interesting story to tell and we work hard to discover the hidden history behind each one.
You may have seen us mentioned in popular magazines such as Vogue, Livingetc and Homes & Gardens. It’s always exciting to spot a piece we recognise in a beautiful home or place of work.
Do feel free to contact us as we’re always happy to share further information. We also offer a finding service if you’re working on a project for a client or need that special piece for your home.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
