EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite drawing of "Flight into Egypt" by Jacopo Bellini, housed in the prestigious British Museum in London, Great Britain. The artwork itself dates back to the Early Renaissance period, specifically between 1420 and 1470. In this masterpiece, Bellini skillfully depicts a significant biblical event from the New Testament - the Flight into Egypt. The central focus is on Mary, gracefully seated atop a donkey as she flees with her infant son Jesus Christ. This poignant scene captures their journey through lush landscapes while being accompanied by terrestrial mammals. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; he intricately portrays Mary wearing a veil and headdress that reflect both civilian and religious fashion of that era. She holds a cane or staff for support during their arduous escape. Her mantle or cloak drapes elegantly around her figure. Bellini's drawing embodies elements of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles prevalent during his time in Europe. His mastery lies in capturing emotions within each stroke, evoking empathy from viewers who witness this pivotal moment in Christ's life. Photographed nearly a century ago in 1920, this image preserves not only Bellini's artistic brilliance but also serves as an invaluable historical artifact from the first and second millenniums A. D. , offering us glimpses into ancient times. Anderson has expertly captured this timeless artwork through Alinari photography without mentioning any commercial use associated with it. This allows us to appreciate Bellini's genius while immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of art history at one of London's most esteemed cultural institutions – The British Museum.
