Saint Joseph watches him sleeping and the infant John the Baptist raises his finger to his lips, asking us for silence.\n\nThe Virgin holds open a Bible. The position of the fingers of her other hand suggests that she was originally meant to be lifting a veil from her child. The hourglass marks the passing of time and symbolises the inevitability of death. As the sand runs from the upper bulb to the lower one, Christ’s sacrifice, as prophesied in the Bible, comes ever closer.\n\nThis is one of many painted copies based on a presentation drawing in red chalk by Michelangelo (Harley Gallery, Nottinghamshire), which dates from about 1538. The composition has been known as ‘Il Silenzio’ (Silence) since the sixteenth century. Venusti’s picture was probably painted in the second half of the 1540s.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/marcello-venusti-after-michelangelo-the-holy-family-il-silenzio\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London -
