"The Holy Family (Hollstein 319; Strauss 281)" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius, created in the late 16th century. Goltzius, known for his virtuosity and the complex iconography of his works, was a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement, which was characterized by its highly stylized approach and the use of exaggerated poses and proportions. This particular work depicts the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the Christ Child in an intimate family scene, a common subject in Christian art that emphasizes the humanity of Christ and his family.

The engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the masterful use of line by Goltzius, which demonstrates his exceptional skill in the medium. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye through the scene, with the figures arranged in a harmonious and balanced manner. The use of light and shadow in the engraving adds depth and volume to the figures, enhancing the overall sense of three-dimensionality.

Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) was an influential printmaker and draftsman of the Dutch Golden Age, and his works were widely disseminated and collected throughout Europe. His engravings were particularly admired for their technical excellence and the elegance of their execution. "The Holy Family (Hollstein 319; Strauss 281)" is a prime example of Goltzius's ability to blend technical prowess with a deep understanding of religious iconography, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and an important piece in the study of Northern Renaissance art.

The engraving is catalogued in the Hollstein's Dutch and Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts ca. 1450-1700, which is a comprehensive catalogue of Dutch and Flemish prints, and by Walter L. Strauss, an art historian known for his work on the prints of the Northern Renaissance. The numbers 319 and 281 refer to the respective catalogue entries in Hollstein and Strauss's compilations, which serve as key references for scholars and collectors in identifying and studying the print.

As an artwork that embodies the technical skill and artistic sensibilities of its creator, "The Holy Family (Hollstein 319; Strauss 281)" continues to be an object of study for art historians and remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Hendrick Goltzius in the history of printmaking.
