EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Antonio Tempesta's masterpiece, "The Flight into Egypt". Created in the 16th or 17th century, this Italian etching depicts a significant moment from Christian history. The scene portrays the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. Intricately detailed, Tempesta captures the essence of this biblical event with angelic cherubs hovering above the holy family. A donkey gracefully carries them through a serene countryside while lush fruit trees frame their journey. The artist skillfully conveys both the vulnerability of motherhood and the protective nature of Saint Joseph as they navigate their way to safety. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print is a testament to Tempesta's artistic prowess and his ability to evoke deep religious sentiments. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and its impact on humanity throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time, connecting with these iconic figures who symbolize love, resilience, and hope. This image resonates not only for its historical significance but also for its timeless portrayal of family bonds and devotion. Whether you admire it for its religious symbolism or appreciate it as an exquisite piece of artistry from centuries past, Antonio Tempesta's "The Flight into Egypt" continues to inspire awe and reverence among visitors at The Met today.
