The Holy Family with the Dragonfly
''The Holy Family with the Dragonfly'', also known as ''The Holy Family with the Mayfly'', ''The Holy Family with the Locust'' and ''The Holy Family with the Butterfly'' is an engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) from approximately 1495. It is quite small but full of intricate detail. A very popular image, subject to pirating within five years of creation, it appears in collections, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art〔 and the UK Royal Collection.
==Description==
''The Holy Family with the Dragonfly'', alternately known as ''The Holy Family with the Butterfly'', ''The Holy Family with the Locust'', and ''The Virgin with the Dragonfly'', is an early engraving by Dürer. It depicts both the Holy Family and the Holy Trinity, as the Virgin Mary sits on a bench holding Jesus with Joseph beside them, while God the Father and the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove look down from the clouds. In the lower right corner is an insect frequently identified as a dragonfly. However, Dürer may have intended it as a butterfly, a creature whose dramatically transformative life-cycle makes it a perfect symbol of resurrection and redemption.〔 The abundance of beautifully-rendered textures in the richly detailed landscape show how early Dürer mastered the art of engraving.〔
