EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Albrecht Durer's masterpiece, "The Flight into Egypt" from his renowned Life of the Virgin series. Created between 1502-1505, this woodcut print showcases Durer's exceptional talent as an artist during the 16th century. The image depicts a scene from Christian history where Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus escape to Egypt to avoid King Herod's wrath. In this composition, a woman leads the way through a dense forest while carrying the infant Jesus on her shoulder. Accompanied by a man guiding two oxen across a rustic bridge, they traverse through nature's beauty on their journey towards safety. The monochrome effect adds depth and intensity to the artwork, emphasizing its timeless appeal. Durer's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece - from the intricate foliage surrounding them to the carefully etched expressions on each character's face. This print not only reflects religious devotion but also highlights Durer's mastery of capturing human emotions within his art. Originally published in Wilhelm Waetzoldt’s book "Durer und Seine Zeit" in 1936, this particular edition dates back to the forties. Preserved by The Print Collector organization for posterity, it serves as a testament to both Durer’s artistic brilliance and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back in time - witnessing an iconic moment that has resonated with viewers for centuries.
