Description |
English: This figure of Saint Joseph was once brightly colored. It was probably part of a Nativity group that included the baby Jesus being worshiped by the Virgin Mary. Painted terracotta was popular in 15th-century Tuscany, where it was typically used for multi-figure religious compositions, arranged as if on a stage. Joseph's meditative pose isolates him from the Virgin and Child and places emphasis on the fact that Joseph, the patron saint of fathers, was not Christ's biological father. |
