EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th-century Italian School's vellum manuscript, "Fol. 42r An angel escorts Mary and Joseph on the flight into Egypt". The image showcases an angel guiding Mary and Joseph as they flee to Egypt with baby Jesus. This momentous journey, depicted on delicate vellum, holds great significance in Christian tradition. The composition portrays a serene yet urgent atmosphere as Mary sits atop a donkey while cradling the infant Jesus. The angel gracefully hovers above them, leading the way through a barren landscape dotted with palm trees. It is an evocative representation of their escape from King Herod's wrath after his failed attempt to locate and harm baby Jesus. The craftsmanship of this manuscript is truly remarkable; every detail meticulously rendered by skilled hands. From the expressions on Mary and Joseph's faces to the intricate folds of their garments, each element adds depth and emotion to this sacred narrative. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness this pivotal event in Christianity firsthand. It serves as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and divine protection during times of adversity. Displayed within Biblioteca Reale in Turin, Piedmont, Italy – a sanctuary for knowledge – this artwork continues to inspire countless individuals who seek solace or draw strength from its depiction of unwavering devotion amidst uncertainty.
