Descrizione opera

The Virgin is seated on the rise in the meadow and holding the Child, who lunges towards the child Saint John. Saint Elizabeth and an austere Saint Joseph, dressed as a knight, are part of the harmonious family scene. Beyond the perspective of the backdrop made of paired columns and round arches, a fluid landscape with a Venetian influence can be seen. Here the artist juxtaposes his own Raphaelism with unusual naturalistic tones borrowed from Ortolano, both of whom share a relationship of reciprocal influence.
