About the piece

This 1737 painting by Giacomo Ceruti captures a group of figures with extraordinary empathy. The warm, earthy palette and dramatic play of light emphasize the textures of their weathered garments and skin, characteristic of Ceruti’s realistic and humanizing approach to genre painting.
