Holy Family with Saint Catherine 1525

Francesco Torbido's "Holy Family with Saint Catherine" (1525) is a Renaissance oil painting that depicts the Virgin Mary, the infant Christ, Saint Joseph, and Saint Catherine. This artwork was painted in a style reflecting the influence of Venetian and Lombard art during the 16th century. The figures are depicted with naturalism, and the painting's composition creates a sense of intimacy and warmth. The landscape background adds a sense of depth and context, typical of the artist's works. The painting's subject matter is a common one in Christian art, and its emphasis on the family aspect would have been particularly relevant to viewers at the time.
