The Home of NazarethGregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos

In this intimate 17th-c. copper painting, Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos portrays the Holy Family in daily life. Mary cooks, Joseph works in the background, and angels assist with humble chores. Blending divine presence with domestic warmth, the scene reflects Colonial Catholic ideals of virtue, labor, and sacred simplicity in the Andean world.
