Landschap met Heilige Familie 1632

"Landschap met Heilige Familie" is an etching created by Pieter de (II) Jode in 1632. This print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Holy Family in a landscape setting. The composition centers around the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, while Saint Joseph gestures towards a small bird in the sky, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. This small-scale artwork, measuring 201 mm in height and 214 mm in width, showcases Jode's skill in capturing intricate details within a delicate composition. This etching is a prime example of the artist's ability to translate religious subject matter into a visually engaging and emotionally resonant scene.
