EM Grassi - Holy Family

The Holy Family refers to the composition of Jesus' family. The traditional iconography of the Holy Families, which began to appear in Italian art as an independent subject in the second half of the 15th century, features the central nucleus of the Child Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The various variations of this iconographic model depend on the inclusion of additional figures who are related to Jesus, such as Saint Anne, mother of Mary, or the young Saint John, often included with a prophetic function of Christ's Passion.

The style of the painter E.M. Grassi is based primarily on a solid drawing structure. Through a highly defined line, the painter first creates the framework of the work, in which a clear linear system emphasizes the volumes and plasticity of the subjects. The curved linear system of the folds of the garments also creates a compositional rhythm across the entire surface of the work. Grassi's pronounced plasticity is further enhanced by the uniform light that extends across the entire scene, but is softened by the soft pastel colors that are characteristic of this artist. Finally, an intimate and calm sentimentality that connects the characters in his paintings is always present in Grassi's paintings.

E.M. Grassi is a painter with a solid pictorial background, especially in the construction of the drawn structure of his works. His pictorial conception is linked to a consistent naturalistic rendering, although a certain degree of idealization is not lacking in his scenes, due to the desire to express sentiments consistent with Christian spirituality.
