182 - Holy Family, religious sculpture, 16th century

Holy Family, religious sculpture, 16th century Polychrome wood. Dimensions: 86 cm x 56 cm x 34 cm. A sculptural group depicting the Holy Family, consisting of Saint Joseph, standing and wearing a turban and a long tunic, next to Saint Anne, seated and holding the figure of the naked Christ Child on her lap, while the young Mary stands on the other side of the group. The figures are arranged in a cohesive and balanced composition, with gentle gestures and spatial relationships that reinforce the intimate and devotional nature of the scene. The carving features clear volumetric modeling, with broad and rhythmic folds in the drapery, accentuated by the polychromy of warm and contrasting tones. The woodwork reveals meticulous craftsmanship, evident in the faces, hands, and hierarchical arrangement of the figures. The work belongs to the tradition of 16th-century religious sculpture, in which sacred narratives are translated into accessible compositions with a strong emotional impact, designed for contemplation and devotion.
