Object description
The Holy Family (Latin: Sancta Familia; Spanish: Sagrada Familia, Italian: Sacra Famiglia), in Christianity, is the family in which Jesus Christ was born, including the Virgin Mary and Joseph the Betrothed. In the composition from the collection of Borys Voznytskyi Lviv National Art Gallery, the biblical story is interpreted lyrically and narratively, with the Virgin Mary's features of an Italian patrician and a perfect, careful reproduction of the forms. The veil, borrowed by Christianity from antiquity, symbolises faith and salvation, the entrance to heaven, the boundary between the world of the living and the dead, sacrum and profanum, the divine and the human.
