EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Durer's masterpiece, "The Flight into Egypt, from The Life of the Virgin, Latin Edition, 1511". Created in the 16th century during the Northern Renaissance period, this woodcut depicts a poignant scene from Christian mythology. In this artwork, we witness the Holy Family - Joseph, Mary (the Virgin), and baby Jesus - fleeing to Egypt. They are accompanied by an angelic cherubim and guided by an angel hovering above them. The family rides on a donkey while passing through a serene countryside filled with date palm trees. Durer's attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition. From the delicate expressions on each figure's face to the intricate rendering of plants and animals surrounding them, his mastery shines through. This piece not only reflects Durer's German heritage but also exemplifies his contribution to religious art during that era. Displayed at The Met Museum as part of their collection, this print captures both the beauty of nature and the profoundness of faith. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with centuries-old stories and beliefs.
