Saint Joseph holding a Lily, oil on canvas 18th century French school 51x48 gilded wood frame
A portrait at the crossroads of two eras, this oil-on-canvas portrait of Saint Joseph holding a Lily is a testament to the late Baroque movement of its time, embellished with a gilded wood Baroque frame dating from the 19th century.
18th-century French school, here the subject is Saint Joseph, depicted with the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity and integrity, very common in Christian iconography from the XVIIᵉ century onwards. His gesture with his right hand, slightly raised, expresses blessing and serenity, typical of divine protection, as is often attributed to the Patron Saint of Families.
The color palette is soft and typical of the Late Baroque of its time, this unique and rare portrait in its condition and composition will make an excellent addition to a private collection of sacred art, or for its interior decoration, based on a sacred theme. In any case, it's a perfect portrait for devotional painting enthusiasts, the figure of Saint Joseph being a rarer one!
Whether you're a lover of sacred art or a Catholic looking for a piece with a long history, don't wait any longer and snap up this portrait of Saint Joseph holding a Lily.
