EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene from the biblical story of the Flight into Egypt. In this enchanting artwork, we see the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child gracefully riding on a donkey, guided by Joseph who holds a burning torch to light their path. The artist, Adam Elsheimer, has masterfully depicted this sacred journey with exquisite detail. To the right of the composition, two shepherds gather around an open fire, perhaps seeking warmth or offering solace to Mary and her family. On the left side of the image, a serene pond reflects the ethereal glow of a full moon, adding an otherworldly touch to this divine moment. The engraving was skillfully executed by Hendrick Goudt in 1613 and beautifully captures Elsheimer's original painting. This remarkable piece measures 356 mm in height and 398 mm in width. As you gaze upon this profound artwork, let your imagination transport you back in time to witness this holy pilgrimage firsthand. Feel Mary's serenity as she rides atop the humble donkey while carrying within her arms our savior - Jesus Christ. Allow yourself to be captivated by the symbolism present throughout; from Joseph's guiding torch representing divine guidance to nature itself harmoniously embracing this sacred event. This print from Liszt Collection is not only a visual masterpiece but also serves as a powerful reminder of faith and devotion that transcends time and space.
