EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Flight into Egypt" painted by Cosme Tura in the 1470s. The artwork depicts a poignant scene from biblical history, where the Holy Family flees to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. In this Renaissance masterpiece, Tura skillfully captures the emotions and struggles of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus as they navigate their way through an unfamiliar country. The painting exudes a sense of tranquility amidst turmoil. Mary, dressed in vibrant hues, cradles her precious child with tenderness while riding on a donkey guided by Joseph. Their expressions reveal both determination and vulnerability as they embark on this perilous journey. Tura's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate folds of fabric to the delicate features of each character. The use of tempera on wood adds depth and richness to the colors, enhancing its timeless beauty. "The Flight into Egypt" not only represents religious devotion but also explores themes of family unity and parental love. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, faith can guide us towards safety and salvation. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this old master's creation continues to captivate viewers with its profound storytelling ability. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in Christian history captured through Cosme Tura's artistic brilliance.
