Antique Painting – Italian School, Oil On Canvas Depicting The Holy Family

Antique painting – 17th century school. Oil on canvas depicting the Holy Family: the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the Infant Jesus. An intimate and contemplative scene, imbued with great gentleness, characteristic of 17th-century religious painting, highlighting the expressions, the tenderness of the gestures, and the balance of the composition. The Virgin, dressed in red and blue, presents the Child while Saint Joseph leans over with a protective and contemplative attitude. The palette is harmonious, with warm, patinated tones and a delicate rendering of flesh tones and drapery. The work is presented in a richly carved and gilded antique frame, in keeping with the period and enhancing the painting's decorative presence. Technique: Oil on canvas. Period: 17th century. Dimensions (excluding frame): • Height: 106 cm • Width: 88 cm. Condition: Canvas relined. The painting displays an old patina, craquelure, and superficial wear consistent with its age, without detracting from its overall appearance. A sound and decorative piece. Ideal for: • an antique painting collection • a religious art enthusiast • a distinctive decorative element (classical interior, chapel, library)
