Giuseppe Maria Crespi is the crossroads of different stimuli: Roman and Emilian seventeenth century, Venetian school, Neapolitan school and Flemish-Dutch tradition.
Everything, well mixed, creates the unique and personal style of this Bolognese master.
A very intense and expressive light. The silent dialogue of the figures engaged in this representation. Following the dictates of the Counter-Reformation, San Giuseppe must be given new visibility and importance; his whole family is present and Christ blesses him ... even if nothing is said about him after the infancy of Christ.
