About the piece

Painted around 1613 by Bartolomeo Schedoni, this Italian Baroque work uses dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the tender interaction between Mary, Joseph, and the young Christ Child. The composition focuses on the act of reading, a charming domestic detail that brings a human warmth and scholarly depth to this sacred subject.
