EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bramantino's "Flight into Egypt" painting, created between 1520 and 1522. The artwork depicts a serene landscape where the Holy Family seeks refuge during their escape to Egypt. Bartolomeo Suardi, also known as Bramantino, skillfully portrays this pivotal moment in Christian history. In the foreground, we see the humble figures of Mary and Joseph riding on a donkey, with baby Jesus cradled in his mother's arms. Their expressions convey both determination and vulnerability as they embark on their journey through unfamiliar terrain. The golden light bathes them in an ethereal glow, symbolizing divine protection. The backdrop showcases a picturesque landscape with rolling hills and lush vegetation that stretches towards the horizon. This idyllic scenery contrasts with the underlying tension of their flight from persecution. Bramantino's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from Mary's tender gaze upon her child to Joseph's watchful stance as he guides them forward. The composition exudes harmony and balance while evoking a sense of urgency. Displayed at Santuario Madonna del Sasso in Orselina, Locarno, Switzerland, this masterpiece continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation. Its timeless message resonates today – reminding us of the strength found within family bonds and our ability to overcome adversity through faith. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for preserving this remarkable piece of art history for generations to come.
