The Holy Family is an oil painting on canvas of the Holy Family by the Pre-Raphaelite artist James Collinson. The painting dates from 1878 when the artist was living in Brittany. The town in the background may be Saint-Malo.The scene is of Jesus as an infant with his earthly father Joseph and mother Mary. The specific scene does not appear in the Biblical Gospels but it has many precedents in Renaissance art.
