EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century painting, titled "Rest on the Flight into Egypt," is a masterpiece of unknown origin, believed to be in the manner of Jan Brueghel I. The scene depicts the Holy Family, consisting of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, taking a momentary pause during their flight into Egypt as described in the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew. The peaceful setting under the shade of trees, with the babes playing amongst the lush foliage and animals, conveys a sense of tranquility and protection amidst the chaos of their flight from King Herod's decree to kill the newborn male children. The natural setting is richly detailed, with an abundance of vibrant plants and trees, including a copper-colored tree in the foreground, which adds to the overall visual appeal of the artwork. The painting's use of oil on copper plate further enhances the richness and depth of the colors, creating a stunning and timeless piece. The "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a beautiful representation of the infancy of Jesus and the devotion of his parents. It is a testament to the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 17th century and a reminder of the enduring significance of religious art in European culture. This painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
