"Die Heilige Familie mit der Libelle" (English: "The Holy Family with the Dragonfly") is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1495. This work is notable for its intricate detail and the use of symbolism, which is characteristic of Dürer's engravings. The piece depicts the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child in an intimate family scene, surrounded by various elements that hold symbolic meaning.

The title of the piece, particularly the mention of the dragonfly, is of interest to art historians and scholars. In Dürer's time, the dragonfly, often mistaken for a stinging insect, was sometimes referred to as a "devil's needle" and could symbolize sin or the presence of evil. However, in this context, it is believed that the dragonfly might represent the crucifixion of Christ, as its body and wings can resemble a cross, thus foreshadowing the Passion of Christ. This interpretation aligns with the Renaissance practice of embedding religious narratives with prefigurations of Christ's life and death.

The engraving is executed with remarkable precision, showcasing Dürer's mastery of the burin, a tool used in engraving to create fine lines and textures. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a pyramidal structure that was common in Renaissance art. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene and highlights the figures of the Holy Family.

"Die Heilige Familie mit der Libelle" is part of Dürer's larger body of work that explores religious themes through engravings, paintings, and woodcuts. His works are celebrated for their technical skill, intellectual depth, and artistic innovation. This particular engraving remains an important example of Dürer's contribution to Northern Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and rich iconography.
