Holy Family with Angels, 1625, Nicolas Poussin
Size: 74×57 cm
Medium: oil, canvas
This picture — it’s like someone with the power to commission a professional artist said “picture this— what if Mary and Joseph had some angels over as, sort of, a play date for Jesus? So I want you to paint a bunch of those little winged putti scampering about, with Mary keeping an eye on things, and Joseph in the background, reading a book and trying to tune out all the noise.”
