Description
Scipione Pulzone (attributed to) The Holy Family oil on copper 13.7 x 18.6 cm
The work presents a refined devotional composition depicting the Virgin and Child with Saint Joseph, rendered in a style characterised by intense formal grace and contemplative spirituality, attributable to the circle of Scipione Pulzone. The quality of the work’s execution is evident in the finesse of the drawing, the soft chiaroscuro and the remarkable expressive sensitivity of the faces – elements that lend the scene a sense of intense emotional engagement and great pictorial elegance.In terms of its iconographic composition and stylistic atmosphere, the painting appears closely aligned with the style of late sixteenth-century Roman art influenced by Pulzone, with particular reference to his celebrated depictions of the Virgin and Child commissioned by private and religious patrons. The iconographic success of these compositions likely led to the production of copies and variations within the artist’s own workshop and his immediate circle. In a 17th-century frame.
