Curator’s note

The Holy Family with Saints Anne and Catherine of Alexandria

A religious work by Jusepe de Ribera, the Spanish Baroque master famed for dramatic light and lifelike detail. The Holy Family with Saints Anne and Catherine emerge from a dark background, bathed in warm light, the deep shadows and vivid figures conveying Ribera's devout yet human feeling.
