EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Flight into Egypt" painting by Reni, dating back to the 17th century. In this remarkable image, we see the Virgin Mary delicately cradling the infant Christ in her arms as they embark on their journey. Joseph, standing beside them, points towards an unknown direction with a sense of urgency. The backdrop is adorned with towering trees that seem to whisper secrets of ancient wisdom. The engraving technique used by Bernard Jacques Samuel adds depth and texture to this timeless masterpiece. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Christian history. The flight into Egypt symbolizes the Holy Family's escape from King Herod's wrathful pursuit, seeking refuge in a foreign land. Samuel Bernard skillfully captures every detail and emotion within this frame; from Mary's gentle gesture towards her precious child to Joseph's protective stance. Their expressions reveal both determination and vulnerability as they navigate through unfamiliar territory. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to faith and devotion throughout centuries. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power that religious imagery holds over our hearts and minds. In this stunning photograph print by Samuel Bernard, we are reminded of the profound impact art has on preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
