The Holy Family attended by Angels 1600 - 1650

"The Holy Family attended by Angels" is an etching by Pietro Testa, a prominent Italian Baroque artist of the 17th century. This artwork, created between 1600 and 1650, depicts the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus attended by angels. The composition showcases the figures gathered around a tree, emphasizing the sanctity of the Holy Family through the delicate touch of the angels offering them gifts.
