Featured HELP: Need help identifying this painting & painter!

Hi Everyone,

I have a painting that has been passed down through the family and can’t seem to identify the painting or painter. It seems original with the signature “ C. Pape” but we can’t seem to identify the painter. It could be Frank C Papé but his work doesn’t seem to align with this painting. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you.

 

Welcome to the forum, Olivia.
Lovely painting. The Madonna is of a type seen in different European countries, and copied in the Americas. Is she holding a lamp?
The stamp is faint, but it seems to have been framed in New York state.

 

It's GLENDALE, NY, but I haven't got the name stamped on the frame......starting with AM or AN....then can't get the rest......oh, and sorry, WELCOME to the Forums, Olivia!!!!

 

I would guess Latin American. I've never before seen a Madonna holding a Toucan.

The national bird of Belize is a Toucan, but it isn't red-breasted.

There is a red-breasted Toucan that lives in southern Brazil/Paraguay/Argentina.

Any connection to those areas?

 

Thank you! Yes I should have posted a better image but the frame says “Ancobilt” from Glendale NY. Posted this image because it had the frame #, I wasn’t sure if that was relevant.

 

I will look more into this! As far as I know there was no connection to those areas but you never know. Thank you for the suggestion

 

Is it a toucan? I thought it was a red lamp. The pictures are so tiny.
Could you please post bigger pictures so everyone can see? As komo would say: "You've got to help us to help you." You might be missing the right information this way.

 

Welcome Olivia.

 

As long as your images you post are UNDER 1 MB EACH, we LOVE bigger images!!!!
