Sfânta Familie cu Sfântul Anton de Padova is a 1571 by Giovanni Battista Pittoni, a Rococo painting work, depicting Saint, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows five figures in a dimly lit space. A woman in a blue robe holds a barefoot baby. An older man with a beard stands behind them. A bald man kneels in front, looking up. Two small angels float in the top right corner, wearing ruffled collars. The woman’s red lips and the baby’s soft skin stand out against the dark background. The angels’ wings glow faintly, like they’re lit from behind. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
