A discussion conducted by professor Jozef Flik, conservator and technologist of painting, professor Zygmunt Waźbiński, historian of art, and Dr. Sergio Benedetti, conservator in the gallery of Italian painting in the National Museum of Dublin, led to a conclusion that the Holy Family in Osiek, near Brodnica (voivodeship of Toruń), was executed in 1620-1622, and is a copy made upon the basis of a painting by B. Cavarozzi, probably displayed in Rome at some time in the past. A copy of the same painting, discovered at an auction held by Sotheby’s on 7 October 1981, and almost identical to the painting from Osiek, testifies to the considerable popularity of Cavarozzi and the Holy Family theme in the seventeenth century. It has been ascertained that both copies, executed in oil on canvas, originate from outside the Cavarozzi workshop, and were made by second-rate artists. Nonetheless, the painting in Osiek is at present the most faithful version of the lost Roman original. Detailed technological research has found that it was executed on linen canvas with a red emulsion priming ground and in an alla prima oil technique, with the application of impasto and a glaze finish. The painting in question is a typical example of Flemish technique from the first half of the seventeenth century, based on a precise depiction of forms with the employment of the effects of the so-called optical greyness of the painting, on a red ground and with illuminating modelling, which was an ideal method for presenting the chiaroscuro in the Baroque. This method was initially imitated in Italy, but in time it was abandoned due to the supposed difficulties produced by lengthy and time-consuming work, which did not correspond to the temperament of artists from the South. At any rate, these facts testify to a mutual exchange of workshop experiences between Northern and Southern Europe.
