Den hellige familie 1792 - 1827

"Den hellige familie" (The Holy Family), painted by Danish artist Carl Christian Seydewitz between 1792 and 1827, depicts the traditional scene of the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus. The composition, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a tender moment, likely set in a garden. The painting's soft light and subtle details highlight the intimate connection between the figures, capturing the essence of the holy family. Seydewitz's work, created during the Neoclassical era, reflects the stylistic trends of the time with its emphasis on clarity and emotional depth.
