"The Holy Family", painted in 1530 by an anonymous artist, depicts the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus in a serene landscape. The composition, characteristic of Renaissance-era Italian art, emphasizes the sacred figures. Mary sits gently, her gaze directed towards the viewer, while Joseph stands with a tender expression. The small figure of Jesus is positioned between them, highlighting the divine bond. This work, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the subtle artistry of an unknown painter, offering viewers a glimpse into the devotional art of the early 16th century.
