EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Holy Family Flight Egypt Fountain 1520" created by the talented German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment from biblical history. The scene depicts the Holy Family's escape into Egypt, seeking refuge from King Herod's wrath. Altdorfer skillfully captures the essence of their journey as Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus pause at a serene fountain along their path. The intricate details of the woodcut bring life to every element of the composition - from the flowing water cascading down into the basin to the lush foliage surrounding it. The expressions on each family member's face reveal a mixture of exhaustion and determination. Mary tenderly cradles her child while Joseph gazes ahead with unwavering resolve. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, faith can provide solace and strength. The choice of using a woodcut technique adds depth and texture to this artwork, enhancing its emotional impact. Altdorfer's mastery is evident in his ability to convey both beauty and hardship through delicate lines etched onto wood. As we contemplate this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us reflect on our own journeys - physical or metaphorical - where we have sought sanctuary during challenging times. May it inspire us to find hope in unexpected places and remind us that love transcends all obstacles.
