The Rest on the Flight into Egypt at a FFountain
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by the renowned 16th century German painter, Albrecht Altdorfer. This exquisite artwork, estimated to have been created between 1512 and 1515, showcases Altdorfer's exceptional talent for blending religious themes with natural landscapes and architectural elements. In this painting, the Holy Family, comprised of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, take a momentary respite at a fountain during their journey into Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. The peaceful scene is set against a backdrop of a serene, lush landscape, with arches and architectural features creating a sense of shelter and protection. The figures of the Holy Family are depicted with a sense of tranquility and reverence. Mary, the Virgin Mother, tenderly cradles her son, Jesus, while Joseph looks on with a protective gaze. Angels, in the form of cherubs, gracefully hover above, adding a divine element to the scene. The inclusion of the fountain adds a sense of renewal and life to the painting. The clear, still water reflects the surrounding landscape, creating a harmonious balance between the natural world and the divine. This painting is a testament to Altdorfer's ability to capture the essence of the Christian faith through his artistic vision. The use of natural elements and architectural features adds depth and complexity to the depiction of the Holy Family's journey, making it a beloved work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day. Whether displayed in an art gallery or art center, this painting is a valuable addition to any collection of historic and cultural art. Its timeless beauty and intricate details make it a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the rich artistic heritage of the past.
