EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century print titled "Flight into Egypt" by Marco Meloni takes us back in time to a biblical scene of profound significance. The image showcases the Holy Family, consisting of the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, embarking on their perilous journey through the desert. As they escape King Herod's wrath, an angel guides them from above while riding alongside on a donkey. Meloni's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully captures the emotions etched upon each character's face. The tender gaze shared between Mary and her divine child reflects both love and concern for their uncertain future. Joseph appears steadfast as he leads his family forward with unwavering determination. The composition exudes a sense of serenity amidst chaos - golden rays of sunlight illuminate the landscape as if offering protection during this treacherous flight. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of faith and resilience in times of adversity. Displayed within this private collection, it is clear why Roy Miles Fine Paintings has chosen to showcase such an exquisite piece. Its historical value combined with its artistic brilliance makes it a true gem among religious art enthusiasts worldwide. As we admire this print today, let us reflect upon the timeless message it conveys: that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope and guidance available to those who seek it faithfully.
