Holy Family

Japanese: 聖家族 - せいかぞく(英語表記)Holy Family
Holy Family
A theme in Christian art. The Gospels tell us very little about Jesus Christ's childhood. One of these is the story of the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt and its sojourn there, and the return of the Virgin Mary to the town of Nazareth, in Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23. Luke 2:39 onwards reports on Jesus' healthy growth in the town and his visit to the temple in Jerusalem at the age of 12. Based on these, many apocryphal and traditional accounts tell of his childhood with his parents. The most frequently depicted scene is one that developed from the scene of the resting place on the flight to Egypt, and has a rich landscape as its background. Many variations were later created, including the young John the Baptist and Elizabeth, the Virgin Mary's mother Anna, and other saints. In addition, images based on apocryphal texts such as the Gospel of Thomas, such as the young Jesus helping his foster father Joseph with his carpentry, were added, and these images appeared frequently in Renaissance and Baroque art of the 15th to 17th centuries, when secular elements became stronger. Examples include Raphael's Holy Family with the Canigiani (1507, Munich, Alte Pinakothek).

キリスト教美術の主題。イエス・キリストの幼少年時代について,福音書はごくわずかしか伝えていない。その1つは,『マタイによる福音書』2章 13~15,19~23の,聖家族のエジプト逃避と滞在,および聖母のナザレの町への帰還の物語であり,さらに『ルカによる福音書』2章 39以下がその町でイエスのすこやかな成長と,12歳のときのエルサレムの宮詣でについて報告している。これらを核に,多くの外典や伝承が,両親とともにおくった幼少年時代について語っている。最も頻繁に図像化されたのは,上記エジプト逃避途上の休憩場面から発展したもので,豊かな風景を背景としている。のちには,これに幼い洗礼者ヨハネとエリザベト,聖母の母アンナ,さらに聖人らを配して,数多くのバリエーションが生れた。また『トマス福音書』のような外典をもとに,少年イエスが養父ヨセフの職業である大工仕事を手伝うといった図像も加わり,世俗的要素の強まった 15~17世紀のルネサンス・バロック美術に盛んに登場した。作品例はラファエロの『カニジアーニ家の聖家族』 (1507,ミュンヘン,アルテ・ピナコテーク) など。
