Die Heilige Famillie is a 1525 paint by Girolamo Marchesi, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting depicts a tender scene of a woman, an older man, and a baby. The woman, dressed in a red robe with a dark green cloak and a white headscarf, gently holds the baby in her lap. The older man, wearing a red robe and a dark cloak, sits beside her, looking down at the baby. The baby is naked, lying on its back with its legs crossed. The background of the painting is a serene landscape with trees and buildings. The painting is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The colors are muted, with earthy tones dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of warmth and intimacy, as if the viewer is witnessing a private moment between the three figures.
