EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Flight into Egypt" by Jean-Leon Gerome, a renowned neoclassical artist of the 19th century. Created in the 1890s, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of Musee Georges-Garret in Vesoul, France. "The Flight into Egypt" depicts a poignant biblical scene from the New Testament. The Holy Family - Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus - are seen fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. In this idyllic composition, an angel of the Lord hovers above them as they journey through a serene landscape. Gerome's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this oil on canvas painting. The figures are meticulously rendered with delicate features and expressive gestures. Mary cradles her precious Christ child while riding on a donkey guided by Joseph. Surrounding them are puttos or cherubic angels who provide divine protection during their arduous journey. A cow grazes peacefully nearby, adding an element of tranquility to the scene. This fine art image captures not only Gerome's technical mastery but also his ability to convey emotion and spirituality through his work. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated painters.
