The Holy Family with Saint Mary Magdalen

Andrea Mantegna

ca. 1495–1500

The Altman Madonna or 'Holy Family with St Mary Magdalene is a glue-tempera and gold on canvas painting, measuring 57.2 by 45.7 cm and dating to 1495-1505. Painted by Andrea Mantegna, it is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Its use of canvas and its stylistic similarities to works such as the Trivulzio Madonna date it to the painter's late period. The fruit hedge in the background recalls the Trivulzio Madonna as well as the Madonna della Vittoria.
