An 18th-century oil on canvas painting, attributed to the Continental School, depicting the Holy Family. This enduring Christian theme presents the Virgin Mary, Infant Jesus, and St. Joseph, a devotional image central to European religious art.
The subject of the Holy Family became increasingly popular from the late Middle Ages into the Renaissance, serving both as an object of devotion and a reflection of familial unity. This composition embodies the emotional resonance of the Gospel narrative, intended to inspire contemplation and piety.
The large scale and warm palette of the work suggest it may have originally been created for display in a chapel or private devotional space.
