883703 The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John, c.1495-1505 (engraving) by Brescia, Giovanni Antonio da (c.1460-c.1520); 29.5x25.7 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: A pupil of Andrea Mantegna, Giovanni Antonio took inspiration for this engraving from a painting by the master. The quality of disegno - the visual strength of the overall composition and rendering of figures convincingly - is apparent in this print, in which the presence of Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, provides balance. The hard, almost metallic finish in this monumental print seems somehow suited to Mary\'s elderly cousin Elizabeth, who bore John late in her life when God answered her prayers for a child.); 穢 Minneapolis Institute of Art; Bequest of Herschel V.
