Mary and Joseph with Jesus 1506

"Mary and Joseph with Jesus" painted by Bernhard Strigel in 1506, depicts the Holy Family in a domestic setting. Mary, adorned in a blue robe, cradles the infant Jesus while Joseph, clad in black, works at his carpentry bench. The painting reflects the Northern Renaissance style through its detailed realism and focus on everyday life. This piece showcases Strigel's mastery of oil painting, evident in the vibrant colors and meticulous detail, particularly in the representation of Joseph's carpentry tools. Located in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany, this artwork offers a poignant glimpse into the life of the Holy Family.
