The composition, of rare beauty and extraordinary elegance, presents the most refined characteristics of Florentine Renaissance painting and depicts one of the classic themes celebrated by the great masters: the Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth and the young Saint John the Baptist.
The similarities with the magnificent creations of Andrea del Sarto are evident, who, in addition to excelling in the excellent quality of his works, became a constant point of reference for a large part of the Tuscan artists of the 16th century.
The stylistic perfection and pictorial quality are made evident by a particular chromatism with bright gradations, with warm and cold colors combined in an unequaled manner. The nuances on the rosy and luminous complexions stand out from the dark background with a result of great volumetric effect.
The blues and light blues of exceptional vivacity stand out. Finally, it is worth noting the perfect balance in the arrangement of the protagonists of the scene. The characters are depicted in all positions, both facing and sideways, full face and in profile, allowing the author to express his great portrait skills.
A special mention to the splendid pictorial description of the naked bodies of the two children, which is difficult to find in similar works.
The comparison of this painting with the same one kept at the Louvre Museum shows that it is a work made in the workshop of Andrea del Sarto. (See last photo)
