EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Flight into Egypt" and created by Stefano della Bella in approximately 1641, transports viewers back to the 17th century. The image depicts a significant biblical scene from Christianity - the journey of the Holy Family as they escape to Egypt. In this etching, we see the Virgin Mary gracefully riding on a donkey's back, carrying baby Jesus in her arms. Accompanying them is an angel hovering above, guiding and protecting their path through the countryside. Stefano della Bella masterfully captures the tender bond between mother and child as they navigate their way to safety. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, showcasing his Italian heritage artistry. The intricate lines bring life to each figure present in this religious narrative: from Mary's serene expression to Jesus' innocent gaze. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this artwork serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and devotion throughout history. It invites us to reflect on themes such as motherhood, family bonds, and divine protection. Stefano della Bella's "Flight into Egypt" offers viewers a glimpse into an ancient tale that continues to inspire millions around the world today. This stunning piece stands testament not only to its creator's artistic prowess but also its ability to transcend time and connect with people across different cultures and religions.
