Current location: Collezione Chigi Saracini
DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John and Saint Catherine of Alexandria by Alessandro Casolani is a work housed in the renowned Chigi Saracini Collection.
The scene depicts the Holy Family (Virgin Mary, Christ Child, and Saint Joseph in the background), accompanied by the infant Saint John and Saint Catherine of Alexandria (recognizable as a martyred princess).
It represents a perfect example of private devotional painting from the late 16th century, characterized by the soft colors typical of late Sienese Mannerism influenced by the Baroque.
