EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Flight into Egypt from Rosario della V. Maria" by Castellanus, is a stunning example of the artistic mastery of the 16th century. Originally appearing as plate 89 from the collection "Woodcuts from Books of the XVI Century," this print was later assembled into a portfolio in 1937 by Max Geisberg. The image depicts the biblical scene of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as described in the New Testament. Mary, holding baby Jesus, rides on a donkey, accompanied by Joseph leading the way on foot. The family is shown making their way through a rural landscape, with a rider on horseback in the distance. The intricate details of the woodcut, from the lettering and illustrations to the textured depiction of the animals and people, speak to the skill and artistry of the time. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 16th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and convey the stories and beliefs of the past. Today, it is housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image, with its timeless beauty and intricate details, remains a beloved and important addition to the institute's extensive collection of prints and drawings.
