Holy Family with a Shepherd

Holy Family with a Shepherd is a c.1510 painting by Titian, now in the National Gallery, London. It has also previously been attributed to Paris Bordone. It has previously been dated to around 1516 due to its colouring's similarities to the Balbi Holy Conversation of c.1516 . The c.1510 date, based on the similarity of its figure of Saint Joseph to that of St. Mark Enthroned, is now more widely accepted. It shows Titian still under the influences of Giorgione and Giovanni Bellini, which also favours the c.1510 dating.

The work is first recorded in the collection of the Palazzo Borghese in Rome in 1693 and remained there throughout the 19th century. It was probably seen there by Antony van Dyck, who produced a drawing copying it. After passing through other private collections, it was bequeathed to the National Gallery by William Holwell Carr in 1831.[1]

gollark: As a new mRNA strand is generated by the action of the RNA polymerase II machinery on a stretch of DNA, it gets a “cap” attached to the end that’s coming out from the DNA (the “5-prime” end), a special nucleotide (7-methylguanosine) that’s used just for that purpose. But don’t get the idea that the new mRNA strand is just waving in the nucleoplasmic breeze – at all points, the developing mRNA is associated with a whole mound of specialized RNA-binding proteins that keep it from balling up on itself like a long strand of packing tape, which is what it would certainly end up doing otherwise.
