Noon or Landscape with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Claude Lorrain, depicting a serene scene from biblical times. The artwork, measuring 113x157 cm, can be found in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this masterpiece, Lorrain skillfully captures the essence of tranquility and beauty. The landscape stretches out before us with its lush greenery and rolling hills. A peaceful river flows gently through the composition, reflecting the warm rays of noon sunlight. At the center of the painting, we see a group of figures representing the Holy Family - Joseph, Mary (the Virgin), and baby Jesus (Christ). They are resting near an ancient ruin that evokes classical antiquity and features Corinthian order columns. Hovering above them is an angelic musician playing a melodious tune on his instrument while cherubs surround him in adoration. This celestial presence adds to the ethereal atmosphere of this sacred moment. The painting tells a story from Christian tradition as it portrays Joseph leading his family's escape from persecution in Egypt. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as faith, protection, and divine intervention. Lorrain's masterful use of light and color creates a harmonious balance between nature and spirituality. "Noon or Landscape with Rest on the Flight into Egypt" stands as a testament to Lorrain's talent for capturing both natural landscapes and religious narratives within one breathtaking composition.
