Large Antique Oil on Canvas Painting of Saint Joseph W. Lily and the Child Jesus

About the Item

Early religious work of art, presented in the original antique frame. This beautiful and uplifting portrait of Saint Joseph holding hands with the child Jesus is an oil on canvas and we date it to the 18th century and it is from the Baroque Revival era here in Europe. What makes this painting extra special, to us, is the unique father and son relationship that they had and we love the carefree manner in which the artist has perfectly captured a moment in their lives. We also like the prominent place that the white lilies take in this antique and endearing painting. Those lilies symbolize integrity and indicate that Saint Joseph was the earthly spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose purity is represented by the chaste white lily. Here Joseph and Christ come with perfect Baroque Revival faces, hairdo and clothing and have you also noticed the halo behind Joseph's head and the radiant light (of Christ) behind the head of this child Jesus? This painting obviously is in used (or rather aged) condition, but there is something so loving and serene about this unique work of religious art that its condition can hardly be an issue. By the way, the deeper meaning of this amazing work of art makes it special, but the workmanship of the artist takes it to the next level and we are certain that too is something that the next custodian will realize. If you like this early and good quality workmanship and meaningful painting as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially, since perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 35.25 x 30.5 x 2.8 inches. Canvas height x width: 28.6 x 22.8 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

  • Antique Hand Carved Large Size Statue of Saint Joseph and Child Jesus Sculpture
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Large and high quality carved antique sculpture of Joseph holding the child Jesus. If you are looking for a great value for money, work of religious art then this quality carved church relic could be gracing your home or monastery or house of prayer soon. This may not have been carved out of the most expensive or hard woodtype, but that is not what this antique is about. This striking and meaningful sculpture is all about the natural manner in which both the little boy Jesus and Saint Joseph have been hand-carved out of wood and how an accomplished sculptor clearly has spent a whole lot of time, focus and dedication to get the details of this large and meaningful sculpture very right. In this case, the hands and feet, the curly hair, the serene facial expressions, the perfectly natural body postures AND the perfect draping of the cloths are the most eye-catching details. Ones that most mortals would never be able to create like this and it will have taken this skilled artisan weeks rather than days to create. We believe that this unique antique is made of basswood or pine and it has been hand patinated (original). This was probably done to make the entire sculpure look more warm and calm (no wood grains taking away anything from the beautiful details we described). This meaningful and quality crafted work of religious art is ready for you to enjoy and, to us, it breathes a holy serenity and beauty that will never fail to impress. No matter where you decide to have it on display, this ecclesiastical antique will never fail to impress and if you already have a place in mind for 'them' then maybe you should be their next custodian. Mind you, our price for this hand carved antique church statue...
