La Sagrada Familia con Santa Ana y Santa Catalina de Alejandría

1648
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 624
Aunque era español de nacimiento, y de ahí su apodo El Españoleto, Ribera pasó la mayor parte de su vida adulta en Nápoles, ciudad gobernada por un virrey español. Durante sus años de juventud en Roma adoptó los métodos de Caravaggio, trabajando directamente con modelos. En el arte de Ribera, esos personajes sacados de la vida cotidiana se transforman en convincentes imágenes de santos, profetas y filósofos clásicos. El impacto de sus pinturas se basa en composiciones formales derivadas del estudio de Rafael. Esta obra tardía, una de las mejores de Ribera, es epítome de su talento. En ella, hay que destacar la representación naturalista de objetos y textiles, así como las tiernas expresiones de los personajes.
