Spanish school of the 17th century. "Jesus Child in the temple before the doctors". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 71 x 90,5 cm; 80 x 100 cm (frame). In this work we see the episode of the discussion of Jesus with the doctors, following a zigzagging and moving composition typical of the 17th century, which announces the dynamic and scenographic structures that will be typical of the epoch. The figures follow an ascending rhythm, starting from the lower left corner and turning until they reach the figure of Jesus, who is in an elevated position with respect to the rest of the figures in the scene. The figure of Christ is further enhanced by his location, as he is almost in the centre of the scene, seated before a parapet. Joseph and Mary, located in a lower position, together with the doctors, are located on the right of the composition. Joseph gazes directly at his son with great admiration, while the Virgin directs her gaze towards the viewer in such a way as to draw him into the scene and involve him in her son's discourse. This theme is based on a passage from the Gospel of Luke, which recounts the presence of the young Jesus among the theologians or doctors of the Mosaic Law. The text narrates that Jesus, being twelve years old, got lost in Jerusalem, where he had gone with his parents on the occasion of the Jewish Passover. He went to the Temple, where he spent a long time listening and questioning the doctors, who were amazed at his theological knowledge. It took Mary and Joseph three days to find him, and when they did, Mary expressed her concern and Jesus answered her with these words: "Why were you looking for me, did you not know that I must be in my Father's house? This is the last of the accounts of Jesus' childhood, and the only time he is not obedient to his parents. In the Catholic interpretation, these three days that Jesus remains separated from Mary are taken as a sign of the future Redemption through the sacrifice on the cross.
