Description: | This is probably a late copy of the Madonna del Passeggio painted by Raphael, possibly together with his assistant Gianfrancesco Penni. It represents the encounter between the infant Christ and his cousin and forerunner Saint John the Baptist, which took place after Jesus' return from Egypt, where the Holy Family had taken refuge from Herod's persecution. The episode would have been sourced from the Apocryphal accounts of Christ's childhood. | Subjects: | St John the Baptist) religion (Holy Family | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Raphael (Italian painter and draftsman, 1483-1520) Æ After Attributed to Italian School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8965... | Go to resource |
