Portrait of Arrigo Licinio and His Family is a 1550 oil by Bernardino Licinio, a Mannerism work, depicting Family, held at Galleria Borghese.
This painting shows a family of nine people. They are all dressed in Renaissance-style clothing. The mother is sitting in the middle, wearing a light blue dress. She is holding a baby in her lap and a basket of flowers in her right hand. The father is standing behind her, wearing a dark jacket and hat. There are seven children around them, all dressed in different colors. The painting is very detailed, with intricate folds in the clothing and subtle expressions on the faces. The background is a plain brown color, which helps the family stand out. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy works by Bernardino Licinio, the artist who created it.
