EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Flight into Egypt" by Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen, we are transported back to the early 16th century. The image depicts Mary, Joseph, and their young child embarking on a perilous journey through the desert. Mary is seen riding an ass while cradling her precious baby in her arms, as Joseph leads them forward with determination etched on his face. The artist skillfully captures the vulnerability of this holy family as they flee from danger towards safety in Egypt. The composition is filled with rich details that bring the scene to life - from the intricate patterns on Mary's robe to the rugged landscape stretching out behind them. The play of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the image, emphasizing both their physical exhaustion and unwavering faith. This particular print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection showcases not only van Oostsanen's masterful technique but also his ability to convey profound emotions through art. It serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by those who seek refuge and protection. As we gaze upon this powerful piece, we are reminded of our shared humanity and our responsibility to extend compassion towards those fleeing persecution or seeking a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
