EDITORS COMMENTS
Gaetano Gherardo Zompini's enchanting etching, "The Flight into Egypt with a Shepherd Watching from Behind a Tree," transports us to the pastoral beauty of the 18th century. The scene depicts the Holy Family on the move, with the infant Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, riding on a donkey and an ass, accompanied by their entourage. The peaceful countryside unfolds before them, with lush greenery, a bridge arching over a stream, and a flock of sheep being tended by a shepherd. The shepherd, dressed in traditional attire, watches the scene unfold from behind a tree, his gaze fixed on the Holy Family. His presence adds an element of human connection to the biblical narrative, as he observes the fleeing family with curiosity and reverence. The etching, executed in sanguine on laid paper, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium, with intricate details that bring the characters and their surroundings to life. This work of art, created by Gaetano Gherardo Zompini around 1758 or 1759, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century. The scene of the Flight into Egypt is a popular theme in Christian art, and this etching offers a unique perspective, with the addition of the shepherd observing from a distance. The rural setting, farm animals, and pastoral charm make this a beloved work that continues to resonate with viewers today.
