17. THE HOLY FAMILY.

_Andrea del Sarto_[60] (Florentine: 1486-1531). _See_ 690.

St. Elizabeth with her son, the infant John the Baptist, visiting the

Madonna and infant Christ. It is "a Holy Family," but except for the

symbolical cross of the Baptist and the faint circlet of golden light

surrounding the Madonna's head, there is no hint of divinity about this

pretty domestic scene.
