The Holy Family — History & Facts
According to Karel van Mander’s Schilder-boeck (1604), Lucas was a wunderkind and only in his teens when he made this print. The somewhat stiff figures still fit stylistically in the late 15th-century tradition. And yet the endearing family scene shows that already at a young age Lucas could devise a new and original composition for a traditional visual theme.
