EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joos van Cleve's masterpiece, "La sainte famille" (The Holy Family). Painted in the 16th century, this artwork measures 42.5x31.5 cm and is housed in the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. In this painting, we witness a tender moment between the infant Jesus and his mother. The child playfully interacts with her breast, symbolizing both his innocence and dependence on Mary for nourishment and care. The artist skillfully captures the intimacy of this scene, emphasizing the bond between mother and child. Van Cleve's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition. Vibrant colors bring life to each element: from the orange fruit resting on a piece of crockery to delicate flowers adorning Mary's chest. This meticulous approach reflects not only artistic mastery but also scientific methods employed by Flemish artists during that era. The religious significance of this painting cannot be overlooked either. It portrays the Holy Family - Jesus Christ, Mary, and Joseph - embodying their roles as sacred figures within Christianity. Through their presence, Van Cleve invites viewers to contemplate themes of faith, spirituality, and devotion. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' photography expertise, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with profound human experiences across centuries.
