Rest On The Flight Into Egypt
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite Baroque masterpiece by French artist Claude Lorrain (1600-1682), we find ourselves in a tranquil oasis, where Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus take refuge during their perilous flight into Egypt. As depicted here around 1646, an angel guides them towards safety from King Herod's persecution.
The Holy Family is shown resting beneath the majestic palm trees that symbolize their destination - a haven of peace in this ancient land. The soft colors and gentle brushstrokes evoke a sense of serenity, as if time itself has slowed down to allow for contemplation.
Lorrain's masterful use of light and shadow creates an atmosphere both peaceful and reverent, drawing the viewer into the intimate scene before us. His attention to detail is remarkable - note the tender way Mary cradles Jesus in her arms, while Joseph stands watchfully beside them.
This stunning oil on panel painting (1646) from Claude Lorrain's oeuvre not only showcases his technical skill but also testifies to his deep understanding of Christian iconography and narrative. "Rest On The Flight Into Egypt" is a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing moments of quiet contemplation, as we pause with this Holy Family on their journey towards safety and redemption.
