EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning tapestry cushion cover depicting the Flight into Egypt, believed to have been made in Sheldon, England during the early 17th century. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this woolen artwork are truly remarkable. The biblical scene depicted on the cushion cover portrays the moment when Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. The horseback journey is beautifully captured with exquisite attention to detail, emphasizing the importance of these events in Christian history. The central figures of Jesus Christ, portrayed as a young child, along with Saint Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary (also known as Madonna), are surrounded by an array of vibrant flowers that add a touch of natural beauty to this religious narrative. This textile masterpiece not only serves as a visual representation of an important story from the New Testament but also highlights the skillful artistry prevalent during this period. It is housed at Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland and belongs to their esteemed collection. Through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, viewers can appreciate both the historical significance and artistic brilliance behind this tapestry cushion cover.
