Description: | It is likely that the unknown artist was Venetian. The composition of the Holy Family resembles the family group as depicted in scenes of the Adoration of the Magi or Shepherds in paintings by sixteenth-century Venetian artists such as Jacopo Bassano, Bonifazio de' Pitati, and especially Titian, whose Adoration of the Magi (about 1560, Ambrosiana, Milan) provides a useful comparison. Here the Virgin seems to present the child not to the viewer but rather towards some unseen figure beyond the far right of the composition: did the composition originally include more figures at the extreme right? | Subjects: | Christ St Joseph religion (Holy Family Virgin) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Venetian) School Æ Previously attributed to Italian (Emilian) School Previously attributed to Maratti, Carlo (Italian painter, 1625-1713) Previously attributed to Vecellio, Francesco (Italian painter, born ca. 1475-1560) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8892... | Go to resource |
