La giovinezza di Maria, a 17th‑century Italian oil on canvas painting.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Saint Anne, Saint Joachim, and the Infant Virgin
School: Italian, late 17th century (around 1680)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 79 cm x 61 cm
Description
Delicate and intimate depiction of the Holy Family at a moment of tenderness and instruction: the Virgin Mary, still a child, is portrayed engrossed in reading a book under the loving gaze of Saint Anne, while Saint Joachim observes the scene with a paternal expression. The subject, rare and profoundly evocative, blends the theme of spiritual education with that of family affection, in line with the religious sensibility of the late Seicento.
The work is characterized by a soft color palette and a subdued but effective lighting portrayal, which subtly emphasizes the faces and gestures with discreet elegance. The fluid brushwork and idealized physiognomies suggest the influence of painting schools from central Italy, with echoes of Maratta or Emiliana styles.
In good conservation state, the canvas displays an antique patina consistent with the period, with minimal visible restoration interventions. Ideal for collectors of sacred art or for devotional environments.
Provenance: Private collection, Italy

An intimate and rare depiction of the Holy Family, this refined composition captures the young Virgin Mary absorbed in reading a book, guided by Saint Anne and gently watched over by Saint Joachim. The scene blends spiritual instruction with familial tenderness, a theme deeply rooted in the devotional art of the late 1600s.
The work features a soft, warm palette and a balanced use of chiaroscuro that gently highlights the expressions and gestures. The smooth brushwork and idealized figures suggest influence from central Italian schools, with echoes of Maratta or early Bolognese painters.
In good overall condition, the canvas retains an authentic patina consistent with its age, with minor restorations visible under close inspection. A beautiful example of sacred art, ideal for collectors or devotional spaces.
