Description: | The figures are distributed in parallel with Virgin and Child seated in the centre against classical columns. On the left, St. Joseph bears a staff; St. John receives the blessing of the child. St. Catherine is seated on the right beside a wheel (lower right), holding an open book. The sunset landscape, with travellers, shepherds, castles and distant mountains, evokes a mood of poetic serenity. The picture depends on Bonifacio's master Palma Vecchio. The closeness to Palma dates it to soon after the latter's death in 1528. A certain clumsiness of execution suggests it was painted with workshop assistance. | Subjects: | religion (Holy family with saints) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pitati, Bonifazio de` (Italian painter, 1487-1553) and studio Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to school of Beccaruzzi, Francesco (Italian painter, ca.1492-ca.1563) Previously attributed to school of Polidoro da Lanciano (Italian painter, ca.1515-1565) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8742... | Go to resource |
