'''''The Gonzaga Family in Adoration of the Holy Trinity''''' (or also '''''The Trinity Adored by the Gonzaga Family''''') is a painting by the Flemish artist [[Peter Paul Rubens]], housed in the [[Ducal Palace of Mantua]], northern [[Italy]]. The work was commissioned by Duke [[Vincenzo I Gonzaga]] for the Jesuit church in Mantua, while Rubens was his court painter.
The work represents the central part of a triptych, in which the two side panels depicted the ''[[Transfiguration (Rubens)|Transfiguration]]'' and the ''Baptism of Christ''. During the [[Napoleonic Wars|French occupation]] of northern Italy, in the early 19th century, the work was split, and some parts went lost.
The canvas portrays Vincenzo I and his wife, [[Eleonora de' Medici]], near the images of the duke's parents, [[Guglielmo X Gonzaga|Guglielmo Gonzaga]] and [[Eleonore of Austria]]. Also depicted are several of their children with some halberdiers, one of which is Rubens' self-portrait.
