The Holy Family n.d.

"The Holy Family" is an etching created by the German artist Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld. The print depicts the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, with a young John the Baptist to the left. The scene is set in an outdoor landscape, with a distant town in the background. This etching is characteristic of Schnorr’s detailed, descriptive style and his preference for depicting religious scenes in a realistic and historical setting. The work, held at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Schnorr’s contribution to the revival of interest in Renaissance art during the 19th century.
