Achille Martinet’s 1844 print, "Heilige Familie bij een palmboom", depicts the Holy Family in a serene landscape. The composition is framed by an oval, highlighting Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus as they interact in a tender moment. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popularity of religious themes in 19th-century art, and showcases the delicate detail and sentimental style characteristic of Martinet's work.
