About the piece

Created around 1652, this work by Jacob Jordaens showcases the artist's mastery of the Flemish Baroque style. The composition is teeming with energy, depicting the Holy Family alongside a diverse group of figures and animals in a small boat, all brought to life through luminous flesh tones and a robust, painterly touch.
