EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of "The Holy Family" a remarkable relief sculpture created by Antonio Raggi. Located in the majestic Church of S. Andrea della Valle, Rome, this masterpiece is a testament to the Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished during Europe's First and Second Millennium A. D. Dating back to 1675, Raggi's artwork depicts an awe-inspiring scene from the life of Christ: The Flight into Egypt. In this high relief sculpture, we witness Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus fleeing their homeland under divine guidance. As they embark on their journey to safety, an angelic figure hovers above them with wings outstretched in protection. Every detail in this composition speaks volumes about human psychology and religious symbolism. The astonishment on Mary and Joseph's faces reflects their surprise at being chosen for such a sacred mission. Meanwhile, birds—symbolizing freedom—surround them as they seek refuge from danger. Raggi skillfully portrays each character with meticulous attention to physiological aspects while also capturing their psychological depth. Mary exudes grace as she cradles her precious child; Joseph stands tall as the protector; and baby Jesus radiates innocence amidst adversity. The drapery adorning each figure adds a touch of baroque elegance to the overall composition—a hallmark of European art during that era. This individual piece serves not only as a religious object but also as a visual representation of faith itself. Photographed around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari Studios, this image preserves Raggi's timeless creation for generations to come. It invites viewers into an intimate encounter with one of Christianity's most cherished stories—the Holy Family's flight into Egypt—an enduring symbol of hope amidst uncertainty.
