About the piece
Attributed to the Dutch Golden Age painter Cornelis van Poelenburch, this work captures the Holy Family resting against towering ruins. The composition masterfully balances the detailed figures in the shadow of the rocks against a sprawling, light-filled landscape that recedes toward distant mountains.
