Verified profile

The painting serves as an altarpiece in the small chapel attached to the Private Audience Hall. The design of the environment was entrusted by Carlo Alberto to the Bolognese painter Pelagio Palagi (1775-1860), one of the main protagonists of the early nineteenth century in Italy. Called in 1832 and soon named painter in charge of the decoration of the Royal Palaces, Palagi devoted himself in the Turin residence above all to the design of the interiors: like a modern designer he conceived a considerable amount of decorative elements and furnishings, including the altar itself in gilded wood on which the Holy Family is placed. The canvas, dated 1845, is one of the rare Piedmontese paintings made personally by Palagi - now seventy years old - and well reflects the typical taste of nineteenth-century classicism. The elegance of the composition, the calm monumentality of the figures, the brightness of the colors and the general sense of calm refer to the lessons of Raphael, as well as other artists of the past, from Correggio to the Bolognese classicists of the seventeenth century.
