EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment from the biblical story of the Flight into Egypt, as described in Matthew 2. Taken from Gentile da Fabriano's altarpiece "Adoration of the Magi" created in 1423, this predella panel showcases the artist's mastery of tempera on wood technique. The scene depicts Mary, adorned with a halo and riding on a donkey, gently cradling baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling bands. Joseph leads the way, also accompanied by a donkey. The image beautifully portrays the holy family's journey to escape King Herod's wrath and find refuge in Egypt. It symbolizes their flight from danger and their unwavering faith in God's divine plan. Mary's serene expression reflects her devotion as she carries her precious son who is believed to be both human and deity. Gentile da Fabriano skillfully captures every detail with intricate brushwork and vibrant colors that bring life to this religious narrative. The haloes surrounding each figure emphasize their sacredness while highlighting their connection to divinity. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring significance of Christian faith and its rich biblical heritage. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as protection, trust, and divine providence that resonate across time and cultures.
