A Meat Stall with the Holy Family Giving Alms is a 1551 painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Aertsen. It presents a peasant market scene filled with meats and other foods. In the background, the Virgin Mary, during the flight into Egypt, stops on the road to give alms to poor people. The work combines an apparent food still life with religious symbolism and a metaphor encouraging spiritual life.
