About the Item

French school circa 1870 Holy Family under an oak, after Raphaël, on gold background Oil on canvas H. 92 cm; W. 60 cm This aesthetic curiosity takes up the very famous composition by Raphael offered to Philip IV of Spain in 1640, kept at the Escorial Palace, and now at the Prado Museum in Madrid. Made around 1520, this large format by the Italian master is a Renaissance masterpiece and has been copied many times by entire generations of apprentice painters. Here, we find the composition in an oval, placed in a monument of neoclassical facade with many ornate elements dating easily from the end of the 19th century. The peculiarity of this canvas is that all the surroundings are gilded with leaf and sometimes with golden paint, which gives it this peculiarity of a shiny background. These shine are obviously uneven due to the two types of gilding and their colors giving the patinated appearance to the old monument.

Holy Family St John Scarsella Paint 17th Century Oil on table Old master Italy
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Ippolito Scarsella, known as Lo Scarsellino (Ferrara, c. 1550 - 1620) workshop Holy Family with the Infant St John oil on arched panel 46 x 29 cm. in a small temple frame 75 x 55 cm This interesting work shows us one of the most sought-after iconographic subjects in the Christian tradition, presented here according to an ancient and proven scheme. We see the Virgin, majestic, in the centre of the scene while holding a chubby child, who is offering a small bird to the young St John (tradition has it that it is a goldfinch, one of the symbols of the passion of Christ) to be caressed. Completing the Holy Family, we can see Saint Joseph in the shadows, apart from the loving everyday scene depicted in the foreground, calmly leaning on his walking stick. Regarding the stylistic characteristics of this small panel, it is easy to recognise the influence of 16th and 17th century Emilian painting, which leads us to confirm its traditional attribution to Ippolito Scarsella (circa 1550 - 1620) from Ferrara, undoubtedly one of the most important artists of this pictorial context. It could very well be a trial sketch...
