The Holy Family with young John the Baptist and Saint Elizabeth, two angels above, after Reni 1585 - 1615

This anonymous etching, created between 1585 and 1615, is a reproduction of Guido Reni's painting "The Holy Family." The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, with Saint Joseph, Saint Elizabeth, and the young John the Baptist. Two angels are depicted in the sky above. This etching is a fine example of the reproduction of Italian Baroque masterpieces in the 17th century, and is a fine example of the use of linework in printmaking. It is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
