EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Flight to Egypt" transports viewers back in time to a significant moment from the New Testament. Published by Thomas Nelson around 1950, this print is part of The Bible Picture Book collection. The scene depicts Mary and Joseph's escape with baby Jesus to Egypt after receiving a divine warning about King Herod's plan to kill all male infants. The English School artist skillfully captures the anxiety and urgency of their journey through intricate details and expressive figures. Mary cradles baby Jesus protectively in her arms as Joseph leads the way, his face etched with determination. They traverse rugged terrain under a starlit sky, symbolizing both hope and guidance during their perilous flight. This image not only showcases the artistic talent of its creator but also serves as a visual representation of an important biblical event that holds great significance within Christianity. It reminds us of the challenges faced by Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as they sought refuge in Egypt while fulfilling God's plan for humanity. As we gaze upon this historical engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are invited to reflect on themes such as faith, resilience, and divine protection found throughout religious history. This timeless artwork continues to inspire contemplation about our own journeys through life amidst adversity.
