Object description :

"Stephano Danedi Dit Il Montalto - The Holy Family - 17th Century"
It is a collection painting ...
Few elements are known concerning the life of Giovanni Stephano Danedi, known as Il Montalto.
A pupil of the great Lombard painter, Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli known as Il Monrazzone, he worked mainly in Lombardy. Author of numerous frescoes, he participated in the spectacular construction of the sanctuary of the Sacred Mount of Varallo.

This large painting perfectly testifies to this Lombard production of the XVIIth century imbued with Caravaggio and mysticism, by the tight framing, the strong chiaroscuro and the fluidity of the figures.
The artist's debt to his master is visible in the choice of mauve color and in the almost sparkling aspect of the drapes. We find these same characteristics in "Suzanne et les Vieillards" (not located, reproduced in the Pittura Lombarda del '600, 1985, Milan, n ° 234) or "Herodiate and the head of St John the Baptist" (kept in a private collection , Busto Arsizio, canvas 92 x 124 cm)
Dimensions: Canvas: 121 x 92.5 cm
Framed: 134 x 107.5

Some small old restorations
