Holy Family with Sts John, Elisabeth, and Zacharias
by SIGNORELLI, Francesco, Oil on panel, diameter 88 cm
Francesco Signorelli, the nephew of Luca Signorelli, executed works in his uncle’s late style in the decades following Luca’s death in 1523. The general composition of the present tondo follows that of Luca Signorelli’s Holy Family with Sts John, Elisabeth, and Zacharias in the Berlin Gemäldegalerie, a work which Signorelli painted circa 1509-13.
