La Sagrada Familia y San Juan Bautista by Andrés de ConchaMuseo Nacional de Arte
'La Sagrada Familia y San Juan Bautista' was created by the Spanish painter Andrés de Concha.
The center of the composition is occupied by the Virgin, who is bigger in size than the rest of the figures. The virgin holds Jesus in her arms and wraps him in white cloth...
...while young Jesus caresses a sheep with his left hand.
To the left, we find the figure of Saint Joseph, holding a stick in his right hand and looking over the Virgin's shoulder.
In the bottom right corner, Saint John gazes at Jesus and points at him with his finger.
In the foreground, over the table covered with a green cloth, there is a cross made of thin reed and a hamper with handles that contains a bunch of grapes and a white cloth.
The background is made up of a composition of clouds in different shades, surrounding the Virgin’s halo.
The predominant colors are different tones of red and green. These opaque colors are typical of de Concha's work.
