Painting The Transit of St. Joseph 18th century

1700s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Italian School of the 18th century. The painting depicts the death of St. Joseph, which, according to the apocryphal gospels, took place assisted by Mary and Jesus: the dying man in fact lies in his bed of agony, affectionately supported by his putative son Jesus and his bride Mary, while several angels assist, both at the foot of the bed, and from above where the heavens already open to welcome the saint's soul. Joseph's is considered the most desirable and serene form of death, of old age, in his own bed and surrounded by loved ones, which is why the saint is considered the patron saint of the dying and of sweet death. Restored and retiled, the painting is presented framed.
