Rest on the Flight into Egypt
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the 17th century Italian artist, Giovanni Battista Pace. This masterpiece depicts the biblical scene of the Holy Family's journey into Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all the male infants in Bethlehem. In this tranquil moment, Mary, the Virgin, tenderly cradles baby Jesus as Joseph leads the way, with two cherubs playfully peeking over their shoulders. The painting's warm color palette and intricate details bring the figures to life, capturing the essence of the cherubs' mischievous curiosity and the serene calm of the Madonna and Child. The elegant drapery of their garments and the delicate folds of their robes add a sense of depth and texture to the scene. The painting is a beautiful example of the Baroque period's artistic style, with its emphasis on movement, emotion, and drama. It is believed to have been created in Italy, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the time. This artwork is now a cherished addition to the collections of the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, where it is displayed for visitors to appreciate and admire. The painting's historic significance, as well as its artistic merit, makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the New Testament. In this painting, Pace masterfully captures the essence of the Rest on the Flight into Egypt scene, inviting us to reflect on the journey of the Holy Family and the importance of protection and love in times of adversity. The cherubs' playful presence serves as a reminder of the innocence and joy that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances.
