Refined oil painting on canvas, framed in an elegant gilded frame, depicting the intimate and touching scene of the Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist. The work is attributed to the prestigious hand of Pietro Bardellino (Naples, 1732 – 1806), a painter of extraordinary sensitivity and one of the leading exponents of Neapolitan Rococo.
The painting stands out for its delicate expressions, the luminosity of the color palette, and the graceful composition that envelops the figures in an atmosphere of tender spirituality. These elements evoke the decorative and refined taste typical of Rococo art, in which Bardellino excelled with technical mastery and a poetic touch.
An artwork of great collectible and historical value, perfectly embedded in the cultural context of late 18th-century Bourbon Naples.
Naples, circa 1770.
Condition: Excellent, clean and well-preserved canvas.
