Meister der Oberitalienischen/ Venezianischen Schule des 17. JahrhundertsDIE HEILIGE FAMILIE MIT DEM JOHANNESKNABENÖl auf Holz.64 x 50 cm.Verso runder Brandstempel in Form eines Kranzes mit den Inizialen „GT“.Im venezianischen Rahmen.Die Figuren dicht gedrängt und nahe an den Bildbetrachter herangeführt. Die Körperhaltungen bewegt, paarweise jeweils einander zugewandt; so richtet Maria das Gesicht nach rechts auf einen Zweig, der ihr von Josef gereicht wird, während die beiden kindlichen Figuren Jesus und Johannes ebenfalls wie spielerisch an einander umarmen, während Johannes gleichzeitig den Arm um das Lamm in der linken unteren Ecke legt. Der Zweig, den Josef reicht, dürfte wohl für das Lamm bestimmt sein. Es fällt eine kompositionell dominierende diagonale Ordnung im Bild auf, die von links unten nach rechts oben verläuft und für die Darstellung von Bäumen und Landschaft die linke Bildecke freigibt. Eine ähnliche Komposition zeigt das Gemälde desselben Themas von Antonio da Correggio „Madonna della Scodella“ (Galleria nazionale di Parma). Das gelbliche Spätlicht und die gesamte Farbgebung des Bildes lassen den Malstil Oberitaliens erkennen. Dies gilt auch für die Gesichter, wie für die Körperhaltungen. Das Gemälde von hoher Meisterschaft. Der Maler gab dem Gesicht der Maria nicht die übliche idealisierend-schönende Anmutung, sondern den Ausdruck eines aus dem Volk genommenen Modells. Venezianische Maler wie Tizian und Veronese und die Malerei in Parma dürften hier stilistisch einflussgebend gewesen sein.
