EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a captivating 17th-century artwork created by the renowned Dutch painter Abraham Bloemaert. This masterpiece, dated 1632, showcases a serene and intimate moment in the biblical narrative of the Infancy of Christ. The painting depicts the Holy Family - Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus - taking a brief respite during their journey into Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. The setting is a simple, rustic farmstead, with animals, including a dog and goats, grazing in the background. The interior of the building is warm and inviting, with a fire crackling in the hearth and a cooking pot on the fireplace. Bloemaert's skillful use of color and light creates a sense of tranquility and peace, making this a popular devotional image in Christian art and culture. The Madonna and Child are depicted in the center, with Mary tenderly holding the infant Jesus, who reaches out to touch a dog. Joseph looks on, a contented expression on his face. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the Mannerist period. It can be found in various art centers and galleries around the world, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricacies of Bloemaert's brushwork and the depth of meaning in this biblical scene. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a reminder of the humble beginnings of Jesus Christ, and the simple joys of family and domestic life. It continues to inspire awe and devotion in viewers, making it an enduring work of art and an essential part of the Christian artistic tradition.
