Spanish school, following XVII century models; XX century."Saint Joseph with Child".Oil on panel.Measurements: 28 x 46,5 cm; 46 x 64 cm (frame).Devotional image that follows the aesthetic models of the baroque, representing Joseph with the Child Jesus. Both characters are placed in the center of a landscape composition, inscribed in a landscape of symmetrical conception. Until the Counter-Reformation, it was common for the figure of St. Joseph to remain in the background, since he was not given any theological importance. However, after Trent, his protagonist role as Jesus' protector during his childhood, as a guide during his youth, was recovered, and as such he is represented here. In contrast to the tenderness, defenselessness and candor of the infant figure, St. Joseph is presented as a monumental character, typically baroque, an impression that is reinforced by the pyramidal composition. Through this form of representation, the author visually enhances the decisive role as protector of the putative father of Jesus.
