Holy Family 1650

Nicolas Poussin's "Holy Family" (1650) depicts the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child, surrounded by angels, in a serene landscape. The scene, notable for its balanced composition and classical elements, was a popular subject for Poussin, showcasing his mastery of Renaissance ideals and meticulous attention to detail. This piece, housed at the Fogg Museum, highlights the artist's profound influence on Baroque art, merging religious themes with classical aesthetics.
