16th Century Venetian School
The Holy Family, 16th Century Venetian School, Oil on Canvas, Hand Carved Frame

About the Item

Oil on canvas Image size: 26 x 37 inches (66 x 94 cm) Period hand carved gilt frame The pictorial arrangement of the Holy Family, with various saints in a landscape, was very popular in sixteenth-century Venice, following the prototype of Giovanni Bellini. Possibly intended for private devotion, this picture is a representative example of the compositional type known as the sacra conversazione (literally ‘holy conversation’) showing the Virgin and Child with Saint Joseph engaged in a tender exchange. This artist has placed his figures close to the picture plane within a verdant setting that opens towards a luminous and atmospheric landscape. This arrangement creates a contrast between the peace and tranquility of nature and the sacred importance of the characters represented. The use of a palette of soft and warm tones contributes to the serene atmosphere of the work. The earthy tones and subtle greens of the landscape are complemented by the soft colors of the vestments of the Sagrada Família, creating a visual harmony that invites contemplation.
