About the Item

We are pleased to present this 18th-century Italian school oil on canvas. A splendid religious painting that sensitively depicts the Holy Family. The Holy Family was a very common depiction in Italian religious art of the Baroque and late Baroque periods. In this painting, the composition is very typical: the Virgin Mary in the foreground holds the Baby Jesus in her arms, while Joseph contemplates the scene to her left. An ox can be glimpsed in the background to the right. The painting is of excellent artistic quality, evident in its proportions, its attention to detail, and its use of typically Baroque light, which diffusely illuminates Jesus and Mary (the painting's protagonists). Another significant detail is the gaze: Mary and Jesus' faces and gazes are serenely turned toward heaven, a symbol of a profound connection with God and of gentle acceptance of His will. A marvelous painting for its pictorial quality and its profound religious message. If you love ancient Italian religious art, you absolutely must add this splendid painting to your collection. The painting is being sold as pictured without a traditional frame. It comes with a simple wooden frame and a hook on the back for hanging on the wall. The painting has undergone a good-quality restoration, with some retouching and relining. Frame dimensions (cm): Height: 80.5 Width: 59.5 Depth: 2.5 Painting dimensions (cm): Height: 79.5 Width: 58
