The Holy Family on the Flight into Egypt, by Albrecht DAOErer
After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, " Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to look for the child to kill him." Then he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and went to Egypt. He stayed there until Herod died. In this way what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet was fulfilled: " I called my Son out of Egypt." (Matthew, Chapter 2, 13-15). Engraving after a woodcut by Albrecht Durer (German painter, 1471 - 1528) from my archive, published c. 1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "The Holy Family on the Flight into Egypt" by Albrecht Dürer. Inspired by the biblical account in Matthew, Chapter 2, this engraving depicts a pivotal event in Christian history. After receiving a divine message through an angelic visitation, Joseph is compelled to protect his family from Herod's wrathful pursuit. In this image, we witness Joseph's unwavering faith and determination as he leads Mary and baby Jesus during their perilous journey towards Egypt. The artist skillfully portrays their escape under the cover of night, emphasizing the urgency and secrecy surrounding their flight. A donkey accompanies them faithfully, symbolizing both practicality and humility. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail brings forth an exquisite representation of this sacred narrative. The intricate woodcut technique enhances every line and contour with precision, evoking a sense of reverence for these holy figures. The oriental style woodblock art adds depth to the composition while infusing it with cultural richness. As we contemplate this artwork, we are reminded of the power of divine intervention in times of adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst hardship and danger, God provides guidance and protection for those who trust in Him. This timeless depiction invites us to reflect upon our own journeys—both physical and spiritual—and find solace in knowing that there is always hope when we place our faith in something greater than ourselves.
