Italian painter (18th century) – Holy Family with St. John the Baptist.

Italian painter (18th century) – Holy Family with St. John the Baptist.

43 x 38 cm (without frame) – 51,5 x 46,5 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in a carved and gilded wooden frame.

The composition depicts the Madonna seated with the Child, flanked by the infant Saint John the Baptist holding the scroll with the inscription "Ecce Agnus Dei," and Saint Joseph in the background. The scene's layout harks back to the 18th-century Italian figurative tradition, with a soft rendering of the volumes and a color palette centered on blues, reds, and pale flesh tones, against a dark landscape background. The delicate gestures and sweetness of the faces reflect the picturesque and sentimental taste of 18th-century devotional painting.
