Holy Family and S. John is a 1675 by Pierre Louis van Schuppen, a Baroque work, depicting holy family, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows the Holy Family and Saint John together. This artwork is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of life in Flanders during that time. The details in the painting are subtle, but they reveal a lot about the culture and traditions of the region. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
