About the piece
Painted around 1635 by Simone Cantarini, this serene work captures a moment of repose for the Holy Family. The composition is defined by the luminous blue of the Virgin's robes and the expressive, reaching gesture of the infant Christ, all set against an atmospheric Italian landscape characteristic of the artist's refined Baroque style.
