«The Holy Family» from the collection of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts: new data on attribution and technical study of the painting

The article is devoted to the attribution of the painting “The Holy Family” from the collection of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts. When the work was submitted for study, it was dated 1620–1630 and was attributed to Sigismondo Coccapani. The study suggested that the painting was created by Alessandro Rosi, a Florentine artist of the second half of the 17th century, and helped to clarify the chronological framework of the painting’s creation and the iconographic type of the composition corresponding to the image of "Madonna della pappa". Based on foreign research and archival materials, a stylistic correspondence between the painting from the collection of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts and the works of Alessandro Rosi was established, and several pictorial analogues were discovered. The results of technical and technological research made it possible to expand information about the work and the features of its creation. The materials and technical methods used in the painting are consistent with the time of Alessandro Rosi's activity and are characteristic of the Italian school of the second half of the 17th century.
