EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" a stunning miniature from the Norfolk Book of Hours. Created by Simon Bening, a renowned artist of the late medieval period, this vellum artwork is truly a masterpiece. In this scene, we witness an angelic moment as Joseph, Mary, and their newborn son Jesus find respite during their journey to Egypt. The serene landscape provides a tranquil backdrop for this holy family's rest. As Mary cradles her precious baby in her arms, Joseph stands watchfully nearby with his donkey patiently waiting. Every detail in this illuminated manuscript is meticulously illustrated, capturing the essence of Christian faith and devotion. The golden halo surrounding Jesus symbolizes his divinity while angels hover above them in adoration. The inclusion of a goldfinch perched on Mary's breast adds another layer of symbolism to the composition. In Christian art, goldfinches were often associated with Christ's Passion and resurrection. "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" serves as a powerful reminder of the sacredness and significance of Jesus' birth within Christianity. This extraordinary piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as love, protection, and divine intervention. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof let us appreciate its artistic brilliance that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation
