Painting Description
"The Holy Family with the Rose-bush" is a notable 15th-century painting attributed to the Master of the Housebook, an anonymous German artist active during the late Gothic period. Created circa 1490, this artwork is a prime example of the master's oeuvre, which is characterized by its detailed rendering of domestic scenes and a distinctive blend of late medieval and early Renaissance styles.
The painting depicts the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the Christ Child in an intimate family setting, a common theme in Christian art known as the Holy Family. The composition is notable for its inclusion of a rose-bush, which serves as a symbol of the Virgin Mary and the mystery of the Incarnation, with the blooming roses often representing her purity and the thorns alluding to the future Passion of Christ.
Measuring approximately 71 cm × 56 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on oak panel, a technique that was becoming increasingly popular in Northern Europe at the time. The Master of the Housebook's use of oil paint allowed for a rich depth of color and intricate detail, particularly evident in the textures of the fabrics and the naturalistic depiction of the rose-bush.
The painting's provenance and the identity of the Master of the Housebook remain subjects of scholarly debate, with the artist's body of work including both secular and religious themes. "The Holy Family with the Rose-bush" is considered one of the master's most significant religious works, reflecting both the devotional practices of the period and the transition from medieval iconography to the more humanistic approach of the Renaissance.
Today, the painting is held in a prominent museum collection (the specific museum would be mentioned here if known), where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Its preservation allows art historians and the public to gain insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of late 15th-century Germany.
