Heilige Familie met Johannes en Elisabeth 1600 - 1672

François Langot's "Heilige Familie met Johannes en Elisabeth" is an etching depicting the Holy Family, John the Baptist, and Elisabeth in a landscape setting. The composition, created between 1600 and 1672, showcases the figures grouped together, with Mary holding the Christ Child and John the Baptist kneeling before them. The print displays fine detail, particularly in the rendering of the figures' drapery, and emphasizes a religious narrative through its careful portrayal of the biblical figures. This etching highlights the importance of religious subjects in art during the 17th century, as it served as a visual aid for devotional practices.
