"Very Large Painting "the Marriage Of Mary And Joseph" H/canvas In Its Italian Baroque Frame 17th"
Exceptional large painting in its richly carved frame in the spirit of the Italian Baroque period, a very pleasant set of 17th century origin of this Work entitled "The Jewish Marriage", representing Mary and Joseph approved in their union by God, with the symbol of the two doves circling above their heads announcing the news of their marriage. Although Joseph was the oldest of the suitors, presented to Maris, his reed branch turned green as a divine sign of God's choice, the doves appearing above their heads, a sign of the Happiness of the moment. The Father and Mother of Jesus will therefore have a child carried on earth "Jesus", for all Christian humanity by becoming a symbol of their piety .... This beautiful large quality canvas has always been maintained and restored with a doubling of the canvas formerly in order to preserve it, on its robust key frame. A large, well-painted painting with nuanced colours and expressive faces in a fine, lively composition; a beautiful scene in good condition and in its remarkable frame, also of great value in gilded wood with multiple acanthus scrolls in a wide, well-carved, projecting border.
