# The Holy Family with St Catherine [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RIBERA, Jusepe de]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 210 x 154 cm ## Commentary Ribera was a sumptuous colorist. His style evolved from an early preoccupation with "tenebrist" techniques, through a period of experiment with a silvery light, to a final stage characterized by warm and golden tones. One of his most beautiful paintings is the Holy Family in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Especially notable is the beautiful still-life as well as the brilliant rendition of the fabrics and the tender expressions. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [An Old Money-Lender]() - [Apollo and Marsyas]() - [Apollo Flaying Marsyas]() - [Aristotle]() - [Clubfooted Boy]() - [Democritus \(Archimedes\)]() - [Denial of Saint Peter]() - [Diogenes]() - [Hercules at Rest]() - [Holy Trinity]() - [Ixion]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
