The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist. Artist: Perino del Vaga (Pietro Buonaccorsi) (Italian, Florence 1501-1547 Rome). Dimensions: 34 3/4 x 25 5/8 in. (88.3 x 65.1 cm). Date: ca. 1524-26.Florentine by birth, Perino was trained in Raphael's workshop in Rome, where he soon became one of the most inventive artists of his generation. This is a rare devotional painting by him. It includes traditional symbols such as the goldfinch (symbolic of the Resurrection), but also more unusual details, especially a young Saint John who is crowned with grape leaves and wears a leopard skin, usually associated with the god Bacchus--a mingling of pagan and Christian iconography. The exquisite depiction of the infant Christ shows the care with which Perino approached this panel. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
