Painting Description
"Holy Family with the Infant St John the Baptist and St Catherine of Alexandria" is a notable painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Bartolomeo Passerotti, who was active during the late Renaissance period. This artwork, which dates back to the 16th century, is a religious composition that depicts the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph with the Christ Child, accompanied by the young Saint John the Baptist and Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The painting is imbued with the stylistic characteristics of Mannerism, including elongated figures, sophisticated poses, and a complex interplay of gazes and gestures among the figures.
The painting is significant for its portrayal of the Holy Family in an intimate domestic setting, a theme that gained popularity during the Counter-Reformation as a means of promoting family virtues and the cult of the Virgin. Saint John the Baptist, often included in such scenes, is shown here as an infant, emphasizing his role as the forerunner of Christ. Saint Catherine of Alexandria, identifiable by her traditional attributes such as the martyr's palm and the broken wheel, adds an additional layer of iconographic meaning, representing learned piety and the triumph of faith over adversity.
Passerotti's work is characterized by his rich color palette, attention to detail, and the emotional resonance of the figures. The painting showcases his ability to blend the naturalism of the High Renaissance with the expressive qualities that define Mannerism. "Holy Family with the Infant St John the Baptist and St Catherine of Alexandria" remains an important example of Passerotti's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of religious art in the context of the late Renaissance in Italy.
The painting is held in a notable art collection (the specific location would be mentioned here if known), where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Passerotti's skill and the enduring appeal of religious narratives in art.
