The Virgin Appearing to Saint Joseph Calasanctius 1711 - 1778

"The Virgin Appearing to Saint Joseph Calasanctius" (1711–78) is a black chalk drawing by Italian artist Marco Caprinozzi, held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. The drawing depicts a scene of the Virgin Mary, accompanied by angels, appearing to Saint Joseph Calasanctius. Saint Joseph is depicted kneeling, surrounded by other figures, as he gazes upwards at the Virgin Mary, who appears in the clouds with the Christ child. This work is an example of Caprinozzi's work in a Baroque style.
