EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," a captivating masterpiece by Jacques Stella, painted around 1629-1630, offers a serene moment in the tumultuous journey of the Holy Family. This exquisite oil on lapis lazuli painting is a testament to Stella's exceptional Baroque artistry and his deep devotion to the New Testament narrative. In this scene, Stella portrays Mary, the Virgin, tenderly cradling the Christ Child as they take a brief respite during their flight into Egypt. Joseph, with a protective hand on his wife's shoulder, looks on with a concerned yet reassuring expression. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the gentle gaze of the angel of the Lord, who hovers above, offering a guardian presence. Stella's use of rich colors and intricate details, characteristic of the Baroque period, adds depth and dimension to the painting. The deep blues of the night sky, the warm hues of the Holy Family's clothing, and the delicate folds of their garments create a visually stunning work of art. This painting, a private treasure, is a poignant reminder of the divine protection and the strength of the Holy Family during their time of exile. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a beautiful representation of the biblical narrative, and a testament to Stella's skillful interpretation of the story of the Mother of God and her divine son. Jacques Stella, a French painter, created this work during the height of the Baroque period, a time when art was used to evoke emotion and inspire awe. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a prime example of Stella's ability to capture the essence of the New Testament story and convey it through his art, leaving a lasting impression on all who behold it.
