The Passover in the Holy Family Gathering Bitter Herbs 1856

"The Passover in the Holy Family Gathering Bitter Herbs" is a 1856 painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The painting depicts the Holy Family celebrating Passover. Mary is kneeling, picking bitter herbs as Joseph and Jesus observe. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, of which Rossetti was a member, focused on precise detail, realism, and the use of bright, vibrant colors. This painting captures the Pre-Raphaelite style through its use of delicate brushwork and richly saturated colors. The painting is currently on display at the Tate Modern in London, UK.
