Northern European artists around 1500 adopted a fresh view of the Holy Family, portraying the Virgin Mary, Christ Child, and a devoted St. Joseph as a loving trio in a domestic interior. This exhibition celebrates the treatment of this theme in Getty’s recently acquired painting by Gerard David, while showcasing illuminated manuscripts and panel paintings of the period that shaped and reflected his approach. Together, these works highlight the late medieval view of the tender human relationships at the heart of the Christian story.
This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish.
