But the pose of the mother and the son on her lap also contains an explicit allusion to the iconography of the Piet\u00e0, and Jesus\u2019s slumber echoes that of the death awaiting him. The clear and balanced composition, with its rustic, unassuming figures almost sculpted by the source of light, reflects Manetti\u2019s style in the later 1620s. In fact, it is precisely his handling of light, so similar to that in the altarpiece of <em>St. Anthony the Abbot Exorcising a Possessed Woman<\/em> in the Basilica of San Domenico in Siena, dated 1628, that suggests a similar date for the painting in the Pinacoteca di Faenza (Bagnoli 1978).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2529,"template":"","tag-opera":[],"tecnica":[60],"class_list":["post-2861","opera","type-opera","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tecnica-oil-on-canvas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opera"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tag-opera","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag-opera?post=2861"},{"taxonomy":"tecnica","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tecnica?post=2861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
