Holy Family surrounded by angels 1616 - 1617

Jacob Jordaens' "Holy Family Surrounded by Angels" is a 17th-century Baroque painting depicting the central figures of the Holy Family: Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. The image features several other individuals, including angels, contributing to the overall sense of adoration surrounding the sacred family. This work showcases Jordaens' characteristic style, which includes vibrant colors, dramatic lighting, and expressive figures, all contributing to a sense of dynamism and emotional intensity. The piece was painted during a period when religious art was popular in Flanders and was likely commissioned by a patron who wished to celebrate the Christian faith.
