Holy Family with Mary Magdalen (1595-1600) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. This composition of the Holy Family with St Mary Magdalen was repeated many times by El Greco's workshop and imitators. In the painting, pervaded by a warm domesticity, we can find an anecdotal approach to a religious theme: St Joseph offers the Virgin a bowl of fruit from which she has selected two pieces to give to the Christ Child. This still-life detail of the clear glass bowl with fruit is the most striking feature of the picture. The painting (132 x 100 cm) is in the collection of the Museum of Art, Cleveland.
