"The Holy Family with the Butterfly" is a copper engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1495. This work is notable for its intricate detail and the use of symbolism, which is characteristic of Dürer's art. The engraving depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child on her lap, while Saint Joseph stands to the side in a protective manner. The scene is set within a domestic interior, suggesting the sanctity of family life.

One of the most striking features of the engraving is the inclusion of a large butterfly in the foreground, which has been subject to various interpretations. Some scholars suggest that the butterfly represents the soul or the resurrection, due to its metamorphosis from a caterpillar to a winged creature, which could symbolize Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life. Others propose that it may simply be a demonstration of Dürer's keen interest in nature and his skill in rendering its details.

The Holy Family with the Butterfly is considered an example of Dürer's early mastery of the engraving medium. His ability to convey texture, light, and shadow through the intricate lines of the engraving is evident in this work. The composition reflects both his Northern European artistic heritage and the influence of the Italian Renaissance, which Dürer had begun to assimilate following his first trip to Italy in 1494-1495.

This engraving is part of a larger body of Dürer's work that explores religious themes and showcases his talent for combining devotional content with artistic innovation. The Holy Family with the Butterfly is held in various museum collections and remains an important piece for the study of Dürer's art and the broader context of Renaissance engraving.
