De heilige familie 1618 - 1655

"De heilige familie" (The Holy Family) is an etching by Cornelis Schut, dating from between 1618-1655. The print depicts the traditional composition of the Holy Family: Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, with a halo above Jesus' head and a light source emanating from the top of the image. This artwork exemplifies Schut's ability to create expressive detail in the figures, particularly in the depiction of Jesus and Mary. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
