Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth c. late 17th century

This etching, "Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth," created by Giuseppe Diamantini in the late 17th century, depicts a scene of the Holy Family and Saint Elizabeth. The composition centers around the Virgin Mary, holding the Christ Child, who is engaged with Saint Elizabeth's son, John the Baptist. The figures are rendered with fine lines and hatching, typical of Diamantini's style, emphasizing the intimacy of the moment. This etching, with its delicate lines and focus on the human relationships, exemplifies the artistic trends of the Baroque period.
