Holy Family

Holy Family was made by the Holland painter Rembrandt. This painting showed the peaceful and happy secular life. The hostess was dedicated to nursing the baby on her bosom and the old lady besides her was perhaps the hostess's mother who was lovingly watched the child. The host's back was toward them, bowing to do his own work. It seemed that the three characters in the painting focused on its own things, but they were combined together.

It was the light and dark by the mysterious air saved him. By the light and dark, we were led to be far away from the real world, and not arrested by the exact reality. His realism belonged to the human, but the spirit was religious. The reproduction of real things and its deep poetic expression were just perfect. His work became a blend of naturalism and lyrical composition.
