EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print titled "Flight into Egypt" by James Smetham takes us on a visual journey through the biblical story of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt. The scene depicts Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus seeking refuge from King Herod's wrath after the birth of Christ. The composition is filled with religious symbolism, showcasing the profound faith and devotion of this iconic trio. A majestic camel stands tall in the foreground, symbolizing endurance and strength as it carries them through their perilous journey. Mary cradles baby Jesus tenderly in her arms, embodying both motherhood and divine grace. The artist skillfully captures a sense of urgency and determination in their expressions as they traverse an arid landscape under a vast sky. This evokes a feeling of vulnerability juxtaposed with unwavering trust in God's protection. "Flight into Egypt" serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by those who follow their faith against all odds. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, resilience, and ultimately finding solace amidst adversity. This exquisite print from Bridgeman Images allows us to connect with this timeless biblical narrative while appreciating Smetham's artistic talent for capturing emotion and storytelling within his work.
