EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century miniature depicts an episode from the Bible's New Testament, specifically the Flight into Egypt. The scene unfolds on a single page from a manuscript of the Book of Psalms, now housed at the Castle of Chantilly in France. In the image, the Holy Family, consisting of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, make their way to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. Mary rides on a donkey, while Joseph leads the way on foot, with Jesus seated between them. The family is accompanied by several animals, including a dog and a goat, which were believed to have miraculously appeared to aid them on their journey. The intricate details of the miniature, from the delicate folds of the robes to the expressive faces of the figures, are a testament to the exceptional artistry of the medieval period. This miniature not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as a historical and religious artifact, providing a glimpse into the beliefs and artistic traditions of the Middle Ages.
