Holy Family with a Shepherd, early 1520s. Creator: Battista Dossi (Italian, ca. 1490-1548)

Holy Family with a Shepherd, early 1520s. In this image of the Holy Family, Joseph and Mary lean in to admire the Christ Child while a shepherd looks on, leaning on his staff. Before executing this painting, Battista visited Rome, including an extensive study of Raphaels works. Afterward, Battista began a second style of painting, seen in the flexible pose of Christ, the small hands of the adult figures, the high foreheads, and each figure looking sideways or upward. The landscape is impressionistic and grainy as mysterious silvery-blue moonlight accents the thickly wooded landscape. Rich reds, browns, and greens colour the picturesque landscapes, typical of Battistas second style. This small painting was originally attributed to Battista Dossis brother, Dosso. Both brothers served as court painters to the Duke Alfonso I of Ferrara. However, the symmetry and vibrant colours of the painting, as well as the facial styles of the figures, characterize the work of Battista Dossi
