Painting “Holy Family”, oil on panel - 19th CENT. Small-format oil painting on panel, made in the 19th century, in the Italian area. The subject is the Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist, a devotional scene very common in Renaissance and Baroque painting. Description of the work: Technique: Oil on panel Period: 19th century Subject: Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist Composition: In the foreground, in the center, the Virgin Mary holds the Baby Jesus in her lap, flanked by Saint John the Baptist who affectionately caresses him. On the left, the older and veiled figure is Saint Joseph, barely visible with a stylized halo. The halos, stylized as a thin line, indicate the sacredness of the characters. The background is dark, with glimpses of an illuminated landscape on the right. The warm light and drapery highlight the Caravaggio or Mannerist influence. Frame: The frame is gilded, richly decorated with floral motifs in relief, in Baroque style, but later than the painting, more precisely from the early 20th century. Condition: The panel shows craquelure (superficial cracks typical of the aging of oil on wooden support). Some areas are very dark, due to the oxidation of the varnish or accumulated dirt, especially in the faces.
