Painting Holy Family with St. Anne

1600s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. The painting is derived from Rubens' work (1577 -1640) preserved in the Prado Museum in Madrid, reproduced in counterpart engraving by Paulus Pontius (1603 -1658), as also appears in this version. Occupying the vertical center of the scene is the figure of Mary, whose face was inspired by that of Isabel Brandt, the Flemish painter's first wife, who died in1626 at just 35 years old. Our Lady holds the Child Jesus, who looks tenderly but seriously into her eyes, while a small hand rests on the uncovered breast of his mother, from whom he has just received nourishment; behind, standing, St. Anne wraps the shoulders of her daughter and grandson in a tender and protective embrace, smiling smugly: On the left side, somewhat separated and in the dark, Joseph watches pensively and worriedly: the only human figure who does not fit into the light emanating from the Child's face, radiating on Mary's and, by reflection, also on St. Anne's. compared to the master's work, the composition of the figures is respected, but several details vary, particularly in the robes of St. Anne, Mary, and in the drapery that encircles the Child's hips., supporting the hypothesis that this is the work of a follower of the Flemish master. The painting, restored and re-tinted, is in good condition, with only a scratch in the top center color.
