Art historians have variously interpreted the centrally placed viol 14 playing angel, his appearance, purpose and relationship with the elderly Joseph, in this early religious work by Caravaggio, as quoted below.

    Focussing on the depiction of the interacting group formed by the winged youth and Joseph who holds his musical score, Irving Lavin ( 3) avers: "Caravaggio gives him [Joseph] the spiritual job of literally sustaining the heavenly music." 15 Paul Barolsky ( 20) gives a poet
