Tile - 1950-1960 - Sacra Famiglia - 25 cm

Hand-painted tile The 'Holy Family with Child in the arms of the Madonna' is a very common Christian iconographic theme depicting the Virgin Mary holding Baby Jesus, accompanied by Saint Joseph, symbolizing family love, holiness, and often prefiguring Christ's sacrifice through gestures such as offering a rose or looking towards the sky. Artists like Raphael, Mantegna, Gentileschi, and Cavarozzi have interpreted this subject, varying details, colors (green for hope, pink for love), and backgrounds (divine light, nature), but maintaining the central affectionate bond between mother and child. It is painted in cobalt blue. Width 17 cm, height 25 cm, depth 2 cm.
