The Holy Family is a 1518 painting of the Holy Family, saint Elisabeth, an infant John the Baptist and two angels. It is signed by Raphael, but most of the work was delegated to his workshop assistants. It was commissioned by pope Leo X as a gift to Claude, wife of Francis I of France, hence its name. It is now in the Louvre.
