EDITORS COMMENTS
**The Rest on the Flight into Egypt**
In this exquisite print from 1515, Flemish artist Bernaert van Orley masterfully captures a tender moment in biblical history. The Holy Family - Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - take refuge in Egypt after King Herod's decree to kill all male infants born around the same time as Jesus' birth. Van Orley's depiction is characterized by warm colors and gentle expressions.
Mary cradles baby Jesus while Joseph looks on with a paternal gaze. The couple sits amidst lush foliage, symbolizing their peaceful journey into exile. In the background, a fortified hilltop castle rises above the landscape, providing shelter from danger.
The artist's use of drapery creates soft folds that add texture to the scene. A few apples and flowers scattered around them serve as reminders of nature's beauty in times of turmoil. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity and protection, highlighting the importance of family during difficult circumstances.
This stunning print, now part of Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza's collection, showcases Bernaert van Orley's skillful storytelling through art. It not only illustrates a pivotal moment in Christian history but also celebrates the love and devotion between parents and child.
