Neapolitan school; XVIII century. "Holy family". Oil on canvas. It has frame of the eighteenth century. Measurements: 57 x 47,5 cm; 64 x 56 cm (frame). In this work the artist has made the representation of the Holy Family, following the modes of the time. Through the use of a pyramidal composition in which all the characters are inscribed, the author gives greater prominence to the figure of the Child. He is placed in the center of the composition next to his mother on whom he leans in a natural and everyday way. In the background, the figure of Saint Joseph observes the scene. In the most common sense of the expression, the Holy Family includes the closest relatives of the Child Jesus, that is, mother and grandmother or mother and nurturing father. In both cases, whether it is St. Anne or St. Joseph who appears, it is a group of three figures. From the artistic point of view, the arrangement of this terrestrial Trinity poses the same problems and suggests the same solutions as the heavenly Trinity. However, the difficulties are fewer. It is no longer a question of a single God in three persons whose essential unity must be expressed at the same time as diversity. The three personages are united by a blood bond, certainly, but they do not constitute an indivisible block. Moreover, the three are represented in human form, while the dove of the Holy Spirit introduces into the divine Trinity a zoomorphic element that is difficult to amalgamate with two anthropomorphic figures. On the other hand, this iconography was traditionally, until the Counter-Reformation, a representation of the Virgin and Child to which the figure of St. Joseph was added in the foreground. It was not until the reforms of Trent when St. Joseph began to take center stage as protector and guide of the Infant Jesus.

Spanish school; first of the XVII century. "Holy Family with St. Joachim and St. Anne". Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents remains of label on the back. Measurements: 127 x 103 cm. The Virgin with the Child, St. Joseph, St. Anne and St. Joachim form a closed and intimate group in this baroque painting of Italian school. Gestures and gestures converge towards the center of the scene where Jesus is in the lap of his grandmother. The figure of the men, St. Joseph and St. Joachim, is in the background, but even so, their monumentality reflects the relevance of the mimes both in the image and in the biblical portrait. The light also has an intense effect on the maternity, so that the Marian flesh tones are almost pearly, while the other faces are more atheistic. The naturalism printed in the expressions and garments stands out: the aged skins of some, while others are characterized by their vivid freshness. Likewise, the fabrics combine the smoothness of silk with the roughness of coarse cloths. In short, the painting is fully ascribed to the Italian Baroque.
