The Holy Family with saints Elizabeth and John 1545 - 1555

This 16th century etching by Nicolò Boldrini depicts the Holy Family with saints Elizabeth and John. The figures are rendered in a detailed, realistic style, with delicate lines and shading, characteristic of the Renaissance period. The composition, featuring a landscape background with distant mountains, emphasizes the calm and peaceful nature of the scene. The image, a print from a sheet, is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. This work is a beautiful example of Italian Renaissance art and a significant contribution to the history of prints.
