This beautiful and uplifting portrait of Saint Joseph holding hands with the child Jesus is an oil on canvas and we date it to the 18th century and it is from the Baroque Revival era here in Europe. What makes this painting extra special, to us, is the unique father and son relationship that they had and we love the carefree manner in which the artist has perfectly captured a moment in their lives. We also like the prominent place that the white lilies take in this antique and endearing painting. Those lilies symbolize integrity and indicate that Saint Joseph was the earthly spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose purity is represented by the chaste white lily. Here Joseph and Christ come with perfect Baroque Revival faces, hairdo and clothing and have you also noticed the halo behind Joseph’s head and the radiant light (of Christ) behind the head of this child Jesus? This painting obviously is in used (or rather aged) condition, but there is something so loving and serene about this unique work of religious art that its condition can hardly be an issue. By the way, the deeper meaning of this amazing work of art makes it special, but the workmanship of the artist takes it to the next level and we are certain that too is something that the next custodian will realize.
If you like this early and good quality workmanship and meaningful painting as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially, since perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary.
