Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a prominent sculptor and architect of the Baroque era, designed this drawing for an altar featuring the Holy Family. The design depicts a central panel with the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child, framed by an architectural niche. The niche features columns and a decorative pediment with a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. Bernini's architectural drawings often combined a sense of grandeur and dramatic effect, characteristic of the Baroque style. This drawing provides insight into Bernini's artistic process and showcases his ability to integrate sculpture and architecture harmoniously.
