EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century oil painting, titled "Flight of the Holy Family into Egypt" by Jacob Jordaens, depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. After the visit of the Magi, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, warning him to flee to Egypt to protect Jesus from King Herod's wrath. In this artwork, the Holy Family, consisting of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, are guided by an angel through a lush, verdant landscape that contrasts the arid desert or wilderness typically associated with this journey. The cherubs and amorini, or winged infants, accompany the family, adding a sense of divine protection and joy. Jacob Jordaens, a prominent artist of the Flemish Baroque period, masterfully employs chiaroscuro and vibrant colors to create a dynamic and engaging scene. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings, showcase Jordaens' exceptional artistic skill. The painting is believed to have been created around the 1640s and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Antwerp School during the Baroque era. The Holy Family is depicted with a sense of warmth and tenderness, emphasizing their humanity and the divine intervention that protected them during their journey into exile.
