About the piece

This 1620 oil painting on copper captures the Holy Family in a moment of tranquil repose. Attributed to an anonymous master of the period, the work features a vibrant landscape filled with symbolic flowers, watchful angels, and playful putti, all rendered with the delicate precision characteristic of Flemish or Dutch influences of the era.
