Nazarene Painter, religious painting from the first half of the 19th century

Creator: The Holy Bible / Biblical
Offered by: Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description
Refined painting from the first half of the 19th century. Oil on canvas artwork depicting the Holy Family with the young Saint John, of remarkable pictorial quality. Painting attributable to the group of Nazarenes, German romantic painters active in Rome from 1810. They rebelled against academic classicism, aspiring to a renewed art that took the style of fifteenth-century Italian painters as a model. In fact, we find in the composition a severe formal balance and the use of raw color spread with uniform brush strokes. The Virgin stands out for the chromatic vivacity of her clothes that highlights the milky purity of her flesh tones. Saint Joseph watches from afar while baby Jesus gently reaches out towards Saint John accompanied by a wonderful lamb. Painting already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and repainting of the color in small spots. Overall in excellent condition.
