Description: | St. Elizabeth presents the infant St John to the Christ Child seated on the Virgin's lap. He holds a bunch of grapes, which are symbolic of his future sacrifice. St Joseph watches from the left. The figures are depicted at half-length, from different angles and close to the picture plane. The nocturnal setting, the natural gestures and gazes between the figures create a strong sense of human intimacy. The close-knit composition recalls the work of Schedoni, a follower of Parmigianino, to whom this painting was previously attributed. | Subjects: | St John) religion (Holy Family St Elizabeth | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Schedoni, Bartolomeo (Italian painter, ca.1578-1615) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to school of Parmigianino (Italian painter, 1503-1540) Attributed to Italian (Northern Italian) School Previously attributed to Parmigianino (Italian painter, 1503-1540) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8559... | Go to resource |
