1520 (ca.), Garofalo, The Holy Family with Saints Elizabeth and John the Baptist -- Courtauld Gallery (London)

From the museum label: Two angels draw back a curtain to reveal the Christ Child surrounded by his parents, Mary and Joseph. To the right are Mary's cousin, Saint Elizabeth, and her infant son, John the Baptist. Garofalo was a leading painter in the northern Italian city of Ferrara. This work is typical of the delicately painted devotional images in which he specialised.
