The Rest on the Flight into Egypt
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting that transports viewers back to the early 1600s. Created by Jan Brueghel and Hendrik van Balen, this oil on copper masterpiece measures 23.8x31.1 cm and can be found in Nottingham City Museums and Galleries. The scene depicted in this artwork tells a religious story of escape and tranquility. The central focus is on Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus seeking refuge in a peaceful woodland setting during their flight into Egypt. Surrounded by lush greenery, dappled sunlight filters through the trees, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Symbolism abounds within this composition as well; a crown rests atop young Jesus' head, foreshadowing his future role as King of Kings. Angelic figures with wings hover above them, providing protection and guidance along their journey. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the delicate flowers scattered throughout the forest floor to the meticulously painted fruits adorning nearby branches. This botanical aspect adds depth to the painting while also alluding to themes of natural history and science. "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" captures both serenity and anticipation within its brushstrokes. It serves as a testament to Brueghel's skillful artistry while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection upon religious narratives such as nativity scenes from the New Testament.
