EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 18th century as we witness a profound moment in religious history. The image showcases Saint Joseph carrying the Christ Child on their flight into Egypt, beautifully captured by Italian artist Giuliano Traballesi. The etching and engraving technique used adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its emotional impact. Saint Joseph, depicted as a strong yet gentle figure, cradles baby Jesus in his arms while gesturing towards an unseen destination. The donkey they ride upon symbolizes their journey through a foreign land. This sacred family temple becomes a sanctuary for Mary, who stands beside them with grace and devotion. Her presence radiates motherhood and love as she watches over her son from afar. Traballesi's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the intricate cathedral backdrop to the delicate expressions on each character's face. It serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and family bonds that transcend time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers to reflect on themes of fatherhood, motherhood, and divine protection. As we gaze upon this masterpiece today, it continues to inspire awe and reverence for centuries-old traditions that still hold significance in our modern world.
