The Holy Kinship
From the series One hundred masterpieces
The Holy Kinship workshop of Geertgen tot Sint-Jans (c. 1455/65-1485/95), Haarlem, c. 1495, oil on panel
This painting of the family of Christ is remarkably detailed. In the background a boy with a stick douses candles on the choir screen. And you can almost count the leaves of the trees in the garden in the left background.
