EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Flight into Egypt" from a Book of Hours created by Georges Trubert in the late 15th century. The artwork, measuring 11.4x8.6 cm, is housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. Trubert's masterpiece depicts an intriguing scene from the life of Christ with a touch of contemporary influence. In this illuminated manuscript made for King Rene I of Provence, the Holy Family can be seen fleeing to Egypt while encountering various symbolic elements along their journey. One striking detail shows the Holy Family toppling a pagan idol as they escape Herod's soldiers. This act symbolizes triumph over false gods and emphasizes the power and significance of their mission. Another fascinating element added by Trubert is a rapidly growing field of wheat that misleads Herod's soldiers, diverting them away from Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. This miracle further highlights divine intervention and protection during their perilous flight. "The Flight into Egypt" is part of a prayerbook known as a Book of Hours – a cherished devotional text popular during medieval times. Trubert's exquisite illumination brings to life scenes from the New Testament and offers devout Christians moments for reflection and spiritual connection. This beautifully decorated miniature captures not only religious devotion but also provides insight into artistic techniques prevalent during the Middle Ages. It portrays swaddled baby Jesus riding on a donkey alongside his parents Mary and Joseph. Overall, this print invites viewers to appreciate both its religious symbolism and artistic mastery while delving into an important episode from biblical history.
