Heilige Familie 1666 - 1696

"Heilige Familie" is an engraving by Gérard Edelinck, dating back to 1666-1696. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Holy Family - Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus - in a peaceful setting. The composition focuses on the tender interaction between the figures, with Joseph presenting a bowl of fruit to Mary while Jesus rests in her arms. The detailed engraving, typical of Edelinck's style, captures the soft light and subtle expressions of the figures, creating a sense of intimacy and devotion. This artwork is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and religious imagery of 17th-century Dutch art.
