The Holy Family with Saint Mary Magdalen 1500

Andrea Mantegna's "The Holy Family with Saint Mary Magdalen," painted around 1500, is a masterful example of the artist's characteristic style. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with Saint Joseph and Mary Magdalen flanking them. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, conveying a sense of solidity and realism. Mantegna's use of perspective and foreshortening adds to the three-dimensional effect, enhancing the visual impact of the composition. The painting is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
