17th Century Louis XIV Walnut Italian Bed Headboard Death of S. Joseph Blue

About the Item

Oil painting on board from the early 1600s, also perfect as a bed headboard, measuring 100 x 160 cm from the Venetian school, depicting the death of St. Joseph. In this work we can see the serene end of the putative father of Jesus, who died according to the apocryphal Gospels at the age of 111 struck by an illness; he died in the most serene way possible in the arms of Jesus and Mary, therefore surrounded by the love of the people who were dear to him. For these reasons he is revered as the patron of a happy death. The figures are full of immediate human intensity but also of deep symbolic meanings, the narrated scene is full of solemn and passionate descriptive details. Note how the portrayed figures and their gazes are all concentrated on St. Joseph, the fulcrum of the representation and symbol of love Finally, as a devotional sign of the painter we can see how Joseph stands out and is characterized more and more clearly in the figurative context thanks to delicate expressions of ever increasing feeling and affection, making the unity of the holy family still special and unique with Mary and Jesus. The paintings and works of art published here are my exclusive property and therefore are always available to be viewed, by appointment, in my exhibition sites located in Sanremo and Brescia.
