The Flight into Egypt, 1571
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back to the 16th century. Created by Cornelis Cort, a renowned Netherlandish artist of the Northern Renaissance, this engraving beautifully captures the biblical scene of Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus fleeing to Egypt. In this black and white masterpiece, we witness the Holy Family's journey through a rugged landscape. The Virgin Mary tenderly cradles her newborn son while riding on a donkey guided by Joseph. Their faces reflect both determination and vulnerability as they seek refuge from King Herod's wrath. Cort's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. From the intricate folds of their garments to the texture of hay beneath them, each element adds depth and realism to this religious narrative. An angel hovers above them protectively as they navigate their way through unfamiliar terrain. This print not only showcases Cort's exceptional artistic skill but also serves as an important symbol of faith for Christians worldwide. It reminds us of the challenges faced by those who adhere to their beliefs amidst adversity. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "The Flight into Egypt" continues to inspire awe and reverence among visitors today. Its timeless portrayal invites contemplation on themes such as family bonds, fatherhood, and divine protection – reminding us all that even in times of hardship, hope can be found in our faith.
