EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Duccio di Buoninsegna's masterpiece, "Life of the Christ: Flight into Egypt with the Prophets Jeremiah and Hosea". Painted between 1308-1311, this tempera on wood artwork is a part of the predella of the Maesta altarpiece. The painting can be found at Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Siena, Italy. In this scene, we witness the holy family's escape to Egypt as they flee from King Herod's wrath. The central figure is Virgin Mary, holding baby Jesus in her arms. They are accompanied by Saint Joseph and a donkey that carries their belongings. The gold background adds an ethereal touch to the composition. On either side of this sacred journey stand two prophets - Jeremiah and Hosea. Their presence symbolizes divine guidance and protection for Jesus' earthly path. Duccio di Buoninsegna masterfully captures their solemn expressions and intricate details in his signature Trecento style. The medium age painting transports us back to biblical times, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for these iconic figures from Christianity. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully photographs this piece, emphasizing its beauty while preserving its historical significance. This print serves as a testament to Duccio di Buoninsegna's artistic genius and invites viewers to reflect upon the profound story depicted within it.
