Hot The Met Store Van Dyck: Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine of Alexandria Holiday Cards

Send season’s greetings with art holiday cards from The Met.

Wish your loved ones a “Joyous Christmas” with our holiday cards. This set of 15 cards features Anthony van Dyck’s (Flemish, 1599–1641) Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine of Alexandria (ca. 1630) from the Museum’s collection of European paintings. In the arms of his mother, the infant Jesus responds with playful enthusiasm to the adoring gaze of Saint Catherine, identified by her pearls and a martyr’s palm. The picture’s warmth and elegance reflect Van Dyck’s great admiration for North Italian artists such as Titian and Veronese during his years in Italy (1621–27).
