# The Holy Family with Young Saint John [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BECCAFUMI, Domenico]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on panel, diameter 84 cm ## Commentary The Holy Family with Young Saint John c. 1530 Oil on panel, diameter 84 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence A very important Sienese painter who, through the influence of Michelangelo, and of Leonardo and Raphael through the medium of Sodoma, and not without a knowledge of the northerners, achieves a highly original stylistic conception, which is among the most fanciful of the whole Mannerism. It is based upon a liquid colouring which melts under the impact of light and upon an undulating and serpentine linearism. \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: BECCAFUMI, Domenico Title: The Holy Family with Young Saint John Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious ## Related artworks - [Birth of the Virgin]() - [Fall of the Rebel Angels]() - [Fall of the Rebel Angels]() - [Head of a Youth Seen in Profile]() - [Hermathena]() - [Judgment of Zaleukos]() - [Madonna with the Infant Christ and St John the Baptist]() - [Moses and the Golden Calf]() - [Mystical Marriage of St Catherine]() - [Penelope]() - [Scipio Appeals to the Honour of his Soldiers]() - [St Jerome]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
