About the piece
Painted around 1735 by Francesco Conti, this work features the Holy Family depicted with tender emotion and dramatic chiaroscuro characteristic of the Late Baroque period. The composition is anchored by Mary and Joseph guiding the young Jesus on their journey, while playful cherubs and a towering palm tree add a sense of divine protection and exotic setting to the scene.
