This fascinating 16th-century canvas stands out for the splendid colours and brightness of the three figures in the foreground, accentuated by a masterly chiaroscuro effect and by the shaded area that allows a glimpse of Saint Joseph.
The compositional type and style of the painting direct the attribution to the Genoese painter Luca Cambiaso (Moneglia, 1527 - Madrid, 1585) and his workshop.
The painting, depicting a Holy Family adoring the Child with Saint Catherine, is a very typical work of Cambiaso. The subject is among the most frequented by the artist, who has provided numerous variations, evidently solicited by a client who appreciated the sweet and serene atmosphere that the master knew how to infuse into the scene.
His painting, as clearly emerges from our work, is influenced by a variety of influences.
In his subjects, the delicate images and the colourism of Venetian painting emerge above all.
The complexions touched by a diaphanous light belong to the mature phase of his production, which also denotes an evident desire to renew his expressive refinement towards an essential and strongly emotional representation.
The work is complete with a splendid gilded frame from the 19th century.
The painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity according to law.
