Holy Family with an Angel by Raffaellino del Garbo

The painting "Holy Family with an Angel," created in 1495 by Raffaellino del Garbo, exemplifies the transition from wood to canvas in the use of tempera, a significant development in Renaissance art techniques. Raffaellino del Garbo, also known as Raffaelle de Capponi and Raffaelle de Carli, was an Italian painter whose work was influenced by the Florentine school, particularly the teachings of Filippino Lippi. This piece reflects the artist's skill in composition and his ability to convey religious themes with grace and subtlety. The depiction of the Holy Family, accompanied by an angel, showcases the harmonious blend of divine and human elements, a common motif in Renaissance religious art. Raffaellino's contributions to art during this period are noted for their delicate execution and the serene expressions of his figures. His work remains a testament to the evolving artistic practices of late 15th-century Italy.
