EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to a serene winter landscape, where the biblical scene of the Flight into Egypt unfolds. Painted by Abel Grimmer or Grimer in the late 16th century, this panel captures the essence of faith and devotion. In this intimate portrayal, we witness Mary's tender embrace of her infant son, Jesus Christ. The Virgin Mary's face radiates with love and protection as she cradles him amidst a blanket of pure white snow. Their footprints mark their path through the wintry terrain, symbolizing their journey to safety. The significance of this moment lies in its connection to Christian theology. The Flight into Egypt refers to Joseph's dream warning him about King Herod's plan to kill all male infants born around the same time as Jesus. Fleeing from danger, Joseph leads his family through treacherous conditions towards Egypt for refuge. Grimmer masterfully depicts both the vulnerability and resilience within this sacred narrative. Through his skilled brushwork and delicate use of light and shadow, he invites viewers to contemplate themes such as divine protection, sacrifice, and hope during times of adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting turned print courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its spiritual depth that continues to resonate across centuries.
