Presentation Sketch for The Holy Family with Saints Anne, Joachim, and John
Presentation Sketch for " The Holy Family with Saints Anne, Joachim, and John the Baptist" (for Santa Maria in Via Lata, Roma), c. 1729. During the early 1700s, Roman artists returned to fundamental Christian subjects, especially those focused on the Christ child. This work presents the Holy Family with Christs maternal grandparents and baby cousin, John the Baptist, stressing the importance of family relationships. Saints Anne and Joachim hold books, probably representing the Old Testament, reinforcing Christianitys connection to the older Hebrew tradition. Trevisanis tender visual language also looks explicitly back to Guido Reni, whose graceful approach to religious art remained immensely inspirational throughout the century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francesco Trevisani's "Presentation Sketch for The Holy Family with Saints Anne, Joachim, and John the Baptist" from 1729. During this period, Roman artists were drawn to Christian subjects, particularly those centered around the Christ child. This masterpiece beautifully depicts the Holy Family alongside Christ's maternal grandparents and his baby cousin, John the Baptist, emphasizing the significance of familial relationships. Saints Anne and Joachim are depicted holding books which likely symbolize the Old Testament, highlighting Christianity's deep connection to its Hebrew roots. Trevisani skillfully incorporates a tender visual language that pays homage to Guido Reni's graceful approach to religious art—a style that continued to inspire artists throughout the century. Painted in oil on canvas, this artwork is a testament to Trevisani's talent as an Italian artist of the 18th century.
