EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rest on the Flight into Egypt (Virgin with Partridges) is a captivating masterpiece by Anthony van Dyck, showcasing his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of religious narratives. This oil on canvas print, dating back to the early 1630s, transports viewers to a serene moment during the biblical journey of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. In this scene, we witness the Holy Family seeking refuge under a majestic sunflower tree. The Virgin Mary cradles her infant son while two partridges nestle nearby – symbolic representations of birth and peace. A vibrant parrot perched upon Joseph's shoulder adds an element of exoticism to this sacred composition. Dyck's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The delicate expressions on Mary's face and Jesus' cherubic features evoke a sense of tenderness and divine grace. Surrounding them are playful putti or cherubs that bring an ethereal atmosphere to the painting. This artwork not only celebrates Christian iconography but also serves as a testament to Dyck's mastery as one of Flemish Baroque art's most prominent figures. Its grand scale measuring 215x285 cm demands admiration for its sheer beauty and artistic brilliance. Displayed at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this timeless piece continues to inspire awe and reverence among visitors from around the world.
