Légende

The Holy Family, 1490-1520. This painting is a typical product from the workshop of Marco Palmezzano, one of the foremost painters in the north Italian region of Emilia-Romagna in the late 15th and early 16th century. Intended for a domestic interior, it depicts an intimate moment in which the Christ Child holds onto his mother’s sash as his father, Saint Joseph, holds onto his little foot. Joseph keeps his eye on the child who remains focused on his mother, while Mary looks out at the viewer with a melancholic gaze suggesting she is aware of her son’s future death at the crucifixion. The figures are placed behind a parapet - keeping them at a defined distance from the spectator - and before an embroidered cloth of honour that signifies their divinity.
