Heilige familie met engelen 1586 - 1671

"Heilige familie met engelen" is a 17th-century etching by Heinrich Ulrich, created between 1586 and 1671. The artwork depicts the Holy Family, with the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, who is reaching for a plate of fruit held by a bearded elder. An angel with outstretched wings can be seen in the background. The etching, characterized by its detailed lines and chiaroscuro effects, is a fine example of Renaissance art. The scene, depicting the Holy Family's unity and the divine power of the infant Christ, is a popular subject in religious art, and Ulrich's interpretation exemplifies the enduring nature of this theme.
