Christ reaches out to embrace Saint John the Baptist, identifiable by the reed cross he holds. The composition of this painting is constructed along diagonals and the Virgin’s serene bearing contrasts sharply with Christ’s animated, twisting pose.\n\nThis is a relatively late work by the Genoese painter Castello. The sense of movement within the picture is echoed by the flickering light and Castello’s characteristically lively handling of paint. The colouring is rich and intense – the vibrant red of the Virgin’s dress juxtaposed with the deep blue of her cloak – and Castello’s brushwork is spirited and free, especially in the white cloth on which Christ sits.\n\nThe long-necked Virgin in this painting is inspired by Parmigianino’s work and the architectural setting calls to mind the portraits Van Dyck painted in Genoa, during his extended visit to Italy in the 1620s.\" -
