The Holy Family with sleeping Jesus
Giulio Cesare ProcacciniBetween 1615 and 1619
Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy
This
painting, of certain attribution, returns to solutions already experimented
by the artist in other paintings, such as the foreshortening of the Child and
the marked sentimentality that make the representation even more intimate.
The patterns on the draperies are soft, particularly in the shaded area
towards the bottom.
