EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable trompe l'oeil painting from the 17th century titled "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt". Created by the talented Dutch artist Abraham de Pape, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection under the care of Johnny Van Haeften Ltd. in London. The artwork depicts the holy family - Virgin Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus - seeking refuge during their flight into Egypt as described in the New Testament. The attention to detail and skillful execution of this piece truly make it come alive. From Mary's serene expression to Joseph's protective stance, every element evokes a sense of devotion and tranquility. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment within this sacred story. The tender bond between mother and child is palpable as Mary cradles Jesus lovingly in her arms. This portrayal not only captures a religious narrative but also explores themes of love, faith, and sacrifice. Through its rich symbolism and spiritual significance, "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs and values. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power that art possesses to inspire contemplation and foster connections across generations.
