Holy Family with Saint Francis 1610
Holy Family with Saint Francis of Assisi (about 1610-1620) by Angelo Caroselli
Angelo Caroselli was an Italian painter from the Baroque period, active mainly in his native Rome. He created religious works, allegories, portraits as well as genre scenes in the vein of the Caravaggisti. He also returned regularly to scenes of witchcraft and sorcery. His style shows influences principally from Caravaggio.
His work is characterized by its search for originality. This is demonstrated in the potent naturalism and chiaroscuro that characterise his compositions and his preference for depicting colorful characters of contemporary Rome and scenes of witchcraft and musicians. Caroselli's work was very influential, achieving originality and a certain resistance to the triumphant absolutism of the Baroque style.
Caroselli was also active as an art restorer, copyist, and, possibly, forger.
This work is allocated in the Museum of Zevallos Stigliano Palace in Naples
