EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century painting, titled "The Holy Family" by Jacob Jordaens, dates between the years 1621 and 1622. The work is a prime example of the Antwerp School, a significant artistic movement during the Baroque era in Europe, particularly in Flanders, Belgium. The painting depicts the Holy Family in a warm and intimate setting, with the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the infant Jesus, while St. Joseph looks on with a protective gaze. The scene is bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, creating a sense of tranquility and reverence. The color palette is rich and warm, with deep browns, reds, and golds, adding to the overall sense of warmth and comfort. Jordaens masterfully captures the essence of the biblical characters, with Mary's serene expression and the gentle curve of her body, and Jesus' innocent and vulnerable gaze. St. Joseph, with his strong and sturdy figure, exudes a sense of strength and stability. The painting also depicts the circumcision of Jesus, an important event in the life of Christ, which is subtly incorporated into the scene. The use of nakedness in the painting is not meant to be sensational, but rather to emphasize the humanity of the figures and the divine nature of the event. This painting is a testament to the cultural and historical significance of the Holy Family in Christian tradition, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the art and heritage of the Baroque era. It is currently on exhibit at the National Museum of Sweden, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
