Holy Family is a 1505 unspecified by Mariotto Albertinelli, a High Renaissance work, depicting Christ Child, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting shows a tender scene of the Holy Family. In the center, Mary is kneeling with her hands together in prayer, wearing a dark robe with a red dress underneath. Beside her, Joseph is also kneeling with his hands together, dressed in a yellow robe with a red and black sleeve. At their feet lies the Christ Child, wrapped in a white cloth with a pink border. The background of the painting features a serene landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a small house or church in the distance. The sky above is a soft, pale blue. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of warmth and intimacy in this depiction of the Holy Family.
