EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Jan Breugel the Elder's masterpiece, "The Holy Family with Virgin animals leafing through a book, and holding the child Jesus". The painting depicts a serene scene of the Holy Family surrounded by an array of enchanting creatures. In this Flemish style artwork, Saint Joseph stands beside the Virgin Mary as they lovingly cradle baby Jesus in their arms. What makes this piece truly remarkable is the presence of various animals that seem to be engaged in their own sacred activities. A faithful dog and a cunning fox sit attentively nearby, while birds gracefully perch on branches above them. An owl peers curiously at the pages of an open book held by Mary, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. A parrot adds vibrant colors to the composition, while a frog and snail remind us of nature's humble inhabitants. Amidst this harmonious gathering, an iris blooms delicately in the foreground—a symbol often associated with purity and divine messages. The inclusion of these diverse elements creates a rich tapestry that invites contemplation on themes such as faith, family, and our connection to nature. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Bruegel's original painting housed in Rome's Galleria Doria Pamphilj. Through her lens, we are transported into a world where spirituality intertwines effortlessly with wildlife—a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion.
