Holy Family ( St. John Elizabeth and Zechariah ) oil painting on canvas.

Particular iconography where in the foreground figure the family of St. John stooping to receive the blessing of his father Zechariah while his mother's gaze watches over him. In the background characters and architecture accompany the gaze to a figure from the back placed at a distance in the river landscape ( Jordan River?), one can clearly make out the crosier and the red mantle identity symbologies of the Baptist; in fact even the young St. John in the foreground does not wear the traditional camel's fur but presents the red mantle. The painting, which can be framed between the Roman and Tuscan schools, can be dated to the 17th century and is set in a beautiful coeval Roman frame with a wide ebonized sgolo and finely carved and gilded outer order and rebate. The external measurements with frame : 71 x 86 cm
