Description of the Work

A classic example of Italian Renaissance painting.

The pyramidal composition and the use of chiaroscuro create an intimate and solemn atmosphere.

The sweetness of the faces and the rendering of the fabrics testify to the high technical quality and influence of the great masters of the sixteenth century.
