EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour l'église saint Laurent: Saint Joseph aux pieds de Jésus Christ - la Fuite en Égypte (Sketch for the Saint-Laurent church: St. Joseph at the Feet of Jesus; The Flight into Egypt) is a stunning oil painting created by Louis Stanislas Faivre-Duffer in 1878. This masterpiece is a sketch for the Saint-Laurent church in the ninth arrondissement of Paris and depicts the biblical story of St. Joseph and the Holy Family during their escape into Egypt. At the center of the painting, St. Joseph tenderly holds the infant Jesus, who gazes up at his father with a sense of trust and security. The Madonna, with her veil draped over her head, looks down upon her children with a protective and loving gaze. The family is accompanied by their donkey and an ass, making their way through a dimly lit interior. The warm, glowing light emanating from the scene creates an ethereal atmosphere, with rays of light filtering in through the windows, casting a gentle glow over the family. The painting is filled with symbolism, as St. Joseph is depicted as both an intercessor and protector. He holds a staff in one hand, symbolizing his role as a provider and leader, while his other hand cradles the infant Jesus. The orb in the painting represents the power and authority of God, and the incense in the foreground signifies prayer and devotion. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of Christian art and the enduring themes of family, fatherhood, and the protection of the innocent. It is a captivating addition to any interior decor or design project, and a reminder of the profound impact of religious art on the history of Western culture.
