Description: | After he left his native Bologna and travelled to Rome and Southern Italy, Lionello Spada's work underwent a Caravaggesque phase. This episode from the New Testament was probably painted in those years. Mary and Joseph lost sight of their son Jesus during a visit to Jerusalem, only to find him discussing the Bible with the theologians in the temple. The composition, dramatic gestures, strong chiaroscuro (extreme contrasts of light and dark) and naturalistic depiction of street types transformed into biblical characters suggest the influence of Caravaggio and his followers. | Subjects: | religion (Christ Disputing with the Doctors) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spada, Leonello (Italian painter, 1576-1622) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9015... | Go to resource |
