About the piece
Painted around 1850 by Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, this work illustrates the Holy Family with the infant John the Baptist. Using tempera on cardboard, the artist achieves a luminous quality, particularly in the deep blue of the Virgin's mantle and the soft rendering of the figures against a sketchy, atmospheric background.
