Heilige Familie met de jonge Johannes de Doper 1744 - 1802

"Heilige Familie met de jonge Johannes de Doper," created by Gaetano Gandolfi between 1744 and 1802, depicts the Holy Family with the young John the Baptist. This small-scale etching, measuring just 130mm by 87mm, showcases Gandolfi’s mastery of line and tone, creating a tender and intimate scene. The composition emphasizes the close bond between the figures, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation. The use of brown ink, reminiscent of old master drawings, adds to the artwork's devotional and timeless quality. The print showcases the artist's ability to blend realism with subtle emotional depth, making it a valuable example of his later work.
