Description
Spanish Colonial Retablo Depicting the Holy Family
Oil on tin, framed.
Here we see a classic depiction of the Holy Family: the Virgin Mary (wearing a red tunic under a dark-blue mantle) on the left holding her right arm over her heart, St. Joseph on the right (wearing a green tunic under a golden mantle) holding a tall rod of blossoming pink spikenard in his left hand (a symbol of matrimony). The two hold onto the arms of their son, Jesus Christ, who appears between them (wering a modest brown tunic) and gazes directly at the viewer. All stand barefoot in nature on top of green grasses. God appears from the clouds above with his right arm and two fingers extended into the air as he blesses this holy family. The Holy Spirit in the form of a dove has also been delicately painted into the clouds above the family portrait.
