EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Giotto di Bondone's masterpiece, "Flight into Egypt" a stunning fresco found in the Lower Church of S. Francesco in Assisi. Dating back to the Gothic period of the Middle Ages, this artwork transports us to a time when Europe was filled with artistic marvels. The focal point of this mural painting is undoubtedly the Flight into Egypt scene from the life of Christ. In it, we see Joseph leading a donkey carrying Mary and baby Jesus through rocky terrain. The terrestrial mammals and other vertebrates that surround them add an element of realism to this biblical narrative. Giotto's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays natural elements such as rocks and vegetation, creating a sense of depth and texture on these ancient walls. The figure of an angel hovers above them, guiding their journey with divine intervention. As we gaze at this photograph taken by Alinari in 2002, we are reminded that art has no expiration date; it transcends time and connects us with our past. This particular artwork dates back to around 1250-1320 AD when Giotto himself created it during his illustrious career. The significance of this piece lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of faith and devotion. It serves as a visual representation of one episode from the New Testament Bible - an event where Joseph leads his family away from danger towards safety. In capturing every intricate detail with precision, Alinari allows us to appreciate Giotto's genius even centuries later. This print invites us to immerse ourselves in the beauty and spirituality that emanates from Giotto's brushstrokes while contemplating our own journeys through life's challenges alongside Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus on their flight into Egypt.
