EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The flight into Egypt, the Virgin and Child on a donkey, Joseph to the left" an exquisite artwork created by Josedel Castillo in the late 18th century. Inspired by Luca Giordano's original masterpiece, Castillo beautifully captures this biblical scene with meticulous detail. In this depiction, we witness the Holy Family embarking on their journey through a rustic countryside. The Virgin Mary gently cradles Baby Jesus while seated atop a humble donkey, symbolizing their escape from danger. Joseph stands protectively beside them, his presence exuding strength and devotion. Castillo's etching technique adds depth and texture to every stroke of his pen, bringing life to each figure portrayed. The artist masterfully illustrates the innocence of Christ's infancy as well as the tenderness shared between mother and child. As we gaze upon this historical artwork at an art gallery or exhibition center, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in Christian history. This piece serves as a powerful reminder of faith and resilience during times of adversity. "The flight into Egypt" is not just an antique drawing; it is a testament to human determination and divine protection that transcends centuries. Jose del Castillo has skillfully captured its essence for us all to admire and appreciate today.
