From the collection of Städel Museum
The Holy Family is a 1619 oil by Jacob Jordaens, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting Bird, held at Städel Museum.
The painting depicts a tender scene of a family. An older man, likely a grandfather, stands behind a woman and a child. The woman, dressed in a red robe, cradles the child in her arms. The child, wearing a white dress, holds a bird in their hand. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the figures in the foreground. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and dimension in the painting. The use of light and shadow adds to the overall mood of the scene, creating a sense of warmth and intimacy. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Jacob Jordaens, a Flemish painter known for his use of chiaroscuro.
Jacques (Jacob) Jordaens (19 May 1593 – 18 October 1678) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and a designer of tapestries and prints.
