About the piece

This 18th-century oil painting offers a lively and imaginative vision of the Holy Family in Nazareth. Set within a workshop teeming with activity and birds, the scene shows Mary and Joseph accompanied by a young Jesus and a host of industrious angels. Rendered in the rich folk-style tradition of Colonial Latin American art, the work is overseen by a divine presence appearing in a radiant cloud, creating a unique blend of the domestic and the divine.
