Description
Scipione Pulzone (ambit of) - Holy Family oil on copper 13.7 x 18.6 cm
The work presents a refined devotional composition depicting the Virgin and Child with St. Joseph, set in a language of intense formal gentleness and recollected spirituality, ascribable to the ambit of Scipione Pulzone. The quality of execution of the work emerges in the fineness of the drawing, in the soft chiaroscuro modulation and in the notable expressive sensitivity of the faces, elements that give the scene a character of intense emotional participation and high pictorial elegance.In terms of iconographic setting and stylistic climate, the painting appears close to the manner of late 16th-century Roman production influenced by Pulzone, with particular reference to his famous interpretations of the Virgin and Child intended for private and religious patrons. The iconographic success of such inventions probably led to the production of replicas and variants within the artist's own workshop and its immediate circle.In 17th-century frame.
