Holy Family is a 1450 oil by German, a northern_renaissance work, depicting holy family, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows the Holy Family in a cozy room. It's filled with everyday objects like brass and pewter vessels. The artist was likely inspired by other painters, like the way they posed the Virgin and the details in the room. The painting's style is dry and simple, not very flashy. The artist used a spruce rather than a more expensive wood, which is interesting. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of glazing.
