Painting, Oil On Panel "saint Joseph With The Child Jesus" - Late 17th/early 18th Century.
Painting, oil on panel "Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus" - late 17th/early 18th century.
An intense oil painting depicting the refreshing touch of Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus, a scene of great tenderness and domestic intimacy.
The composition, assembled and reworked, highlights the affectionate dialogue between the two figures: the Child, naked and luminous, reaches out toward the Saint's face, while Saint Joseph supports him with a protective gesture and a contemplative gaze.
The work is characterized by a strong Caravaggesque style, with the background and warm light concentrated on the faces and flesh tones, lending depth of emotion and plasticity to the figure.
The soft brushstrokes and naturalistic rendering of the details—the Child's beard, curly hair, hands—suggest an Italian production, dating between the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
Condition: The contemporary nature of the work, consistent with its age, does not attest to its authenticity and its ancient patina; The panel on the back is placed carelessly on the table, presumably to fit it into a corner.
A work with a strong devotional and decorative impact, ideal for collections of sacred art and ancient paintings.
Dimensions: 36 x 29 cm
