EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Flight Egypt" by Simon Bening, a renowned Flemish artist from the 16th century. The artwork is believed to have been created between 1525 and 1530 in Bruges, Belgium. Painted using tempera colors, gold paint, and gold leaf on parchment, this masterpiece measures approximately 16.8 x 11.4 cm (6 5/8 x 4 1/2 inches). Bening's depiction of "The Flight into Egypt" transports viewers to a biblical scene filled with emotion and symbolism. The composition portrays Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt with the infant Jesus to escape King Herod's wrath. Their journey through treacherous landscapes is beautifully rendered with intricate details that highlight Bening's exceptional craftsmanship. The use of vibrant tempera colors combined with delicate touches of gold paint and leaf adds an ethereal quality to the artwork. Each brushstroke captures the essence of light and shadow, creating depth within the scene. This remarkable piece exemplifies Bening's mastery in miniature painting during the Northern Renaissance period. His attention to detail brings life not only to the central figures but also to every element surrounding them – from majestic palm trees swaying in the wind to distant mountains fading into soft hues. As you admire this print from Liszt Collection, let yourself be transported back in time as you delve into Bening's artistic vision and unravel the timeless story depicted within "Flight Egypt. "
