EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century oil on wood painting, titled "The Holy Family. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," is a masterpiece by the Italian Baroque artist Giulio Cesare Procaccini. Created between 1613 and 1615, this artwork depicts the Holy Family - Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - taking a rest during their journey into Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all the male children in Bethlehem. The painting showcases the tender and affectionate bond between the family members. Mary, with her serene expression, cradles her son, Jesus, who gazes up at her with innocent curiosity. Joseph, with a protective and loving gaze, looks down at his family, his hand gently resting on the head of one of the two young boys accompanying them. The use of color in this painting is striking, with the warm tones of the family contrasting against the cooler tones of the background. The nude boys, symbolizing the innocence and purity of childhood, add an intriguing element to the painting. The artist's skillful use of oil painting techniques brings the figures to life, making it a captivating piece that invites the viewer to contemplate the depth of the family's emotions and the significance of their journey. This artwork is a cherished treasure in the National Gallery of Denmark and is often compared to other famous works of the Baroque era, such as "Our Lady of Folgoet," "Our Lady of Mariazell," and "Our Lady of Refuge." Giulio Cesare Procaccini's "The Holy Family. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection on the enduring themes of family, love, and faith.
