Holy Family, by the bolgonese master.
By Giuseppe Maria Crespi, Lo Spagnuolo
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This exquisite painting, resembling a precious jewel, serves as an exceptional illustration of the
devotional cabinet paintings created by Giuseppe Maria Crespi, a highly original Bolognese
artist during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Crespi's distinctiveness extended beyond his
unique style and technique to the subjects he chose to portray. While his portraits and genre
paintings often displayed a light-hearted and even irreverent tone, his treatment of religious
themes resonated with deep emotion, even in its most inventive forms.
This recently uncovered work by Crespi is a typical representation, invoking the tender
connection between mother and child, and the Child's destiny, all within a compact and intimate
format. Executed on a small scale, the painting showcases Crespi's remarkable sensitivity and
mastery of paint, especially evident in the expressive brushwork of the drapery.
The restrained and focused composition of the Holy Family allows for contemplation of the
figures. Mary cradles the Christ child gently, seemingly presenting him to the viewer, her gaze
knowing as the infant holds a diminutive cross, symbolizing his future crucifixion. Joseph
appears in the background, emerging from the left side of the frame, gazing upward with folded
hands in prayer.
Individual motifs from this painting reappear in other works by Crespi, suggesting a synthesis of
familiar elements into a vibrant composition. The artist's revisitation of designs throughout his
career is evident, and this painting on copper likely belongs to a later period, reflecting stylistic
ties to other works and Crespi's increased production of smaller devotional pieces.
Distinguished by its cool palette, bold coloration, and the expressive force of the artist's hand,
this Holy Family painting...

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
