"De Heilige Familie" (The Holy Family), painted in 1650 by Flemish artist Jan Cossiers, portrays the intimate moment of the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus. The piece, now housed in the Musée Calvet in Avignon, France, is a testament to Cossiers' mastery of Baroque portraiture. The artist skillfully captures the tenderness of the scene through the soft, muted tones and the loving gazes shared between the figures, emphasizing the sacred bond within the Holy Family.
