The Holy Family and others flee into Egypt
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens. This remarkable piece, measuring 22x25.4 cm, depicts the biblical scene of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt. The composition showcases diverse people and animals crammed into a small boat as they sail away from danger. At the center of the artwork, Virgin Mary holds Baby Jesus in her arms while St. Joseph guides their vessel through treacherous waters. Surrounding them are various individuals who have joined their journey to safety. Symbolism abounds in this baroque masterpiece; it represents not only an escape but also faith, resilience, and hope. The vibrant colors used by Jordaens bring life to the scene: deep blues for the river they traverse and rich reds symbolizing both danger and salvation. A donkey stands faithfully beside Mary, representing humility and steadfastness amidst adversity. This painting beautifully captures a significant moment from the New Testament when Herod sought to harm Baby Jesus but failed due to his family's flight into Egypt. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christian values such as love, protection, and trust in divine providence. Currently housed at Skokloster Castle in Sweden, this timeless artwork continues to inspire viewers with its religious significance and artistic brilliance.
