Oil on copper. This painting depicts Saint Joseph holding the Christ Child amidst a celestial atmosphere populated by angels and cherubs. The composition is deeply devotional and corresponds to the 18th-century colonial religious style associated with Juan Pedro López, one of the great painters of the former Captaincy General of Venezuela, culturally linked to the territory of New Granada. Juan Pedro López was known for his tender religious scenes and for his "big-headed children," a feature much discussed by historians of Venezuelan colonial art. His work helped define the region's pictorial identity in the 18th century. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 64 x 47 cm / 75 x 59 cm.
