EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "The Flight into Egypt" by Jacob Jordaens, takes us on a visual journey through biblical times. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the holy family's escape to Egypt in this religious masterpiece. At the center of the composition stands Mary, the Virgin Mother, cradling her precious baby Jesus in her arms. Her serene expression radiates love and protection as she clings tightly to her child. Joseph, depicted as a strong and caring figure, leads their way through a breathtaking landscape. As they traverse an idyllic countryside filled with rolling hills and lush greenery, an angel hovers above them - a heavenly guide watching over their perilous journey. A humble donkey accompanies them faithfully; its presence symbolizing both practicality and humility. Jordaens' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke: from the intricate folds of Mary's flowing robes to the delicate features of baby Jesus' face. The artist's mastery extends beyond human figures; he also paints animals with remarkable realism. "The Flight into Egypt" not only showcases Jordaens' artistic prowess but also serves as a powerful testament to Christian faith and devotion. This timeless piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes of love, sacrifice, and divine protection found within biblical narratives. Displayed at Moscow's Pushkin Museum, this print continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide for its ability to transport us back in time while evoking profound spiritual contemplation.
