Pastoral Landscape with the Flight into Egypt,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a masterpiece of Baroque art by Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée), transports us to a serene and idyllic scene. Painted in 1663, this oil on canvas work is part of the Thyssen Bornemisza Collection at Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, Spain.
The composition depicts the Holy Family's journey into Egypt as described in Matthew's Gospel. The Virgin Mary and Child Jesus are shown seated comfortably in a rowboat, gently gliding down a tranquil riverbank. A sense of peace and tranquility pervades the atmosphere, with lush greenery and rolling hills stretching out to meet the distant horizon.
Lorrain's use of color is characteristic of his style - soft blues, gentle greens, and warm golden hues blend harmoniously to evoke a sense of calmness. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this pastoral landscape: from the delicate ripples on the water's surface to the majestic trees standing tall along the riverbank.
This stunning work not only showcases Lorrain's technical skill but also his ability to capture the essence of Christianity through a beautiful and serene depiction. "Pastoral Landscape with the Flight into Egypt" is an exquisite example of Baroque art, inviting us to step into its tranquil world where faith and serenity reign supreme.
