“Holy Family”, 17th century

Oil on copper depicting the Holy Family Panciatichi – or Holy Family with the Infant John, in a gilded carved wooden frame.

The group stands out against a mountainous landscape crowned by a castle. The two children face each other, while Mary and Joseph, bearded, appear pensive. The pictorial style displays Mannerist elements, revealing an affinity with Florentine painting. The use of copper as a support indicates a high-ranking commission.
