Christ among the Doctors
by SERODINE, Giovanni, Oil on canvas, 145 x 224 cm
Christ among the Doctors is one of the three paintings which Serodine painted for the Mattei, a distinguished Roman family. The other two are the Parting of Sts Peter and Paul (Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, Rome) and The Tribute Money (National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh). In relation to Serodine’s impetuous style, the present painting in the Louvre is the most calmly constructed.
