The Holy Family with Various Persons and Animals in a Boat

The Holy Family with Various Persons and Animals in a Boat, a painting by Jacob Jordaens, created in 1652. This artwork, housed at Skokloster Castle, measures 2.2 meters in width and 2.54 meters in height. The painting depicts the Holy Family, along with a multitude of other figures and animals, crowded onto a boat. The scene is dynamic, with figures interacting and animals present, all set against a backdrop of a stormy sea and cloudy sky. The style is characteristic of Baroque painting, with rich colors and dramatic lighting.
