The Holy Family on their flight into Egypt, ca. 1647
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione that beautifully captures the essence of the Baroque era. In this biblical scene, we witness Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus embarking on a perilous journey to escape King Herod's wrath. The print showcases the tender bond between Mary and her infant son as she cradles him in her arms while riding atop a donkey. Joseph walks beside them, his protective presence evident as he guides their path through an idyllic countryside. A winged angel hovers above them, symbolizing divine protection during their arduous voyage. Castiglione's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. The landscape is adorned with lush branches and trees that frame the holy family against nature's backdrop. Sheep graze peacefully nearby under the watchful eye of a shepherd. This artwork not only serves as a religious depiction but also provides insight into 17th-century agriculture and farming practices. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes of faith, resilience, and the universal human experience of seeking refuge in times of adversity. Displayed at The Met museum, this print stands as a testament to Castiglione's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both spiritual devotion and natural beauty within one composition. As we gaze upon "The Holy Family on their flight into Egypt" we are transported back in time to witness an iconic moment from Christian history
