The Holy Family 1645

Rembrandt's "The Holy Family," painted in 1645, depicts the Virgin Mary reading a book while a cherub watches over the infant Jesus in a cradle. The painting, now housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, exemplifies Rembrandt's masterful use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic and intimate atmosphere. This piece, measuring 91 x 117 cm, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of religious devotion through a domestic setting.
