Description: | The Virgin, in red and blue, sits on a rock centrally with the Christ child on her knee while supporting Him with her left arm as He suckles at her left breast. To the Virgin's left the infant John the Baptist stands and proffers a fruit to the Child. Five winged cherubs are assembled across the foreground, one of whom seems about to pick lilies growing in a basket of flowers on the left, a second carries a reed cross and three others attend to a lamb. Behind the Virgin sits Joseph reading from a book held open in his right hand. The background is of trees and to the left are a flowering bush, a basket of flowers, a floral urn and a floral wreath that lies at the Virgin's feet. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; religion (Holy Family) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Brueghel, Jan, the elder (Flemish painter, draftsman, 1568-1625) Æ Attributed to school of Attributed to Avont, Peeter van (Flemish painter, draftsman, and printmaker, 1600-1652) Previously attributed to Balen, Hendrik van, I (Flemish painter, 1575-1632) Previously attributed to Uden, Lucas van (Flemish painter, draftsman and printmaker, 1595-1672) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8790... | Go to resource |
