EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite relief sculpture titled "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" by Italian artist Alessandro Algardi. Created between 1635 and 1640, this gilt bronze masterpiece measures 29.3x35.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK. Algardi's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every intricate detail of this octagonal mannerist artwork. The relief depicts a tender scene from biblical lore, showcasing Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus seeking refuge during their flight into Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. In this touching portrayal, Mary cradles her child while reclining against a tree trunk as Joseph stands watchfully nearby. The delicate folds of their garments and serene expressions on their faces convey a sense of peace amidst turmoil. Bathed in golden hues, the gilt bronze adds an ethereal glow to the composition, enhancing its spiritual significance. Algardi's mastery lies not only in his technical prowess but also in his ability to evoke emotion through his art. As we gaze upon this remarkable print courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – a testament to both human resilience and divine protection.
