Saint Joseph Holding a Lily, oil on canvas, French School, 18th century, 51 x 48 cm, giltwood frame.

A portrait at the crossroads of two eras, this oil on canvas portrait of Saint Joseph holding a lily is a testament to the Late Baroque style of its time, enhanced by a giltwood Baroque frame dating from the 19th century. From the French School of the 18th century, the subject is Saint Joseph, depicted with the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity and integrity, very common in Christian iconography from the 17th century onwards.

His gesture of the slightly raised right hand expresses blessing and serenity, typical of divine protection, as is often attributed to the Patron Saint of Families. The color palette is soft and typical of the Late Baroque style of its period.

This unique and rare portrait, due to its condition and composition, would make an excellent addition to a private collection of sacred art, or for interior decoration, based on a sacred theme. This is certainly a perfect portrait for lovers of devotional paintings, as the figure of Saint Joseph is quite rare!

Lovers of sacred art or Catholics seeking pieces with a history and age, don't wait any longer, and acquire this portrait of Saint Joseph holding a lily.
