"Holy Family" is a painting by John Trumbull completed in 1826, depicting a scene of the biblical Holy Family. The painting features the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. Trumbull captures the intimacy of the family unit, with Mary holding Jesus close and Joseph looking on with tenderness. The composition is reminiscent of traditional Renaissance depictions of the Holy Family, but Trumbull's style adds a sense of realism and emotion. This painting is an example of Trumbull's skill as a portraitist and his ability to convey both religious and familial themes in his artwork.
