The Holy Family, 1577
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Cornelis Cort. This exquisite piece from the 16th century Northern Renaissance era depicts an iconic scene from Christianity - The Holy Family. In this artwork, Federico Barocci masterfully portrays Jesus Christ as a baby, accompanied by his mother, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. Every element is meticulously crafted; from the delicate expressions on each face to the intricate folds of their garments. The artist's skillful use of black and white adds depth and contrast to the composition. One cannot help but be drawn into this tender moment captured by Barocci. The viewer witnesses a serene Madonna breastfeeding her child while Saint Joseph looks on with adoration. A sense of tranquility pervades as even animals are present in this sacred space – birds perch nearby while a cat playfully engages with one of the children. This print not only celebrates religious devotion but also explores themes of family life and motherhood. It serves as a timeless reminder of love, care, and nurturing within familial bonds. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "The Holy Family" continues to inspire viewers with its beauty and spiritual significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between divinity and humanity through Cornelis Cort's extraordinary craftsmanship.
