About the piece

Attributed to Nicola Vaccaro around 1700, this masterful oil painting captures the Holy Family in a tender moment of connection. Using the chiaroscuro technique, Vaccaro illuminates the figures against a dark background, creating a sense of profound depth and spiritual weight that is characteristic of the Neapolitan Baroque period.
