EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Landscape with the flight into Egypt, 1626-80" takes us back to the 17th century. Created by Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi, this etching beautifully captures a scene from Christian history - the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. In this picturesque landscape, we see Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus on their journey through a serene countryside. They are accompanied by an ass or donkey that carries their belongings as they navigate a river estuary in a small boat. A boatman skillfully guides them across the water while other boats can be seen in the distance. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element in this artwork tells its own story. The figures of Mary and Joseph exude grace and serenity as they fulfill their divine mission. Children play nearby, adding an innocent charm to the scene. Grimaldi's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture human emotions but also in his portrayal of nature's beauty. The landscape features rolling hills, lush vegetation, and a wide river mouth that adds depth to the composition. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), it serves as a reminder of our rich religious heritage and transports us back centuries ago when faith played such an integral role in people's lives. It is truly an exquisite representation of devotion and tranquility captured through artistry that has stood the test of time.
