The Holy Family
by VERMEYEN, Jan Cornelisz., Oil on panel, 64 x 55 cm
There are no records of where Vermeyen was trained as an artist. Opinions vary as to whether it was with Jan van Scorel, Bernard van Orley, or Jan Gossart. The Holy Family is certainly indebted to Gossart’s Virgin and Child in the Prado, particularly in the poses of the figures and the articulation of their bodies.
