EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century Gothic painting, titled "Frontal of Tordesillas," showcases the Flight into Egypt scene from the New Testament. Painted in tempera on wood, this masterpiece originated from the Convent of Saint Clare in Tordesillas, Valladolid province, Castile and Leon, Spain. The intricate detail and rich colors of this artwork transport us back to the Middle Ages, where we find Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus on their journey to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all male infants. The family is depicted traveling on a donkey, with Mary holding the Christ Child protectively in her arms. The royal standard of Castile and Leon is proudly displayed on the back of the donkey, signifying the importance of this event in the history of the region. The interior of the painting is adorned with intricate designs, typical of the Gothic style prevalent during the Middle Ages. This artwork is now housed in the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, where it continues to inspire awe and wonder in visitors from around the world. The scene of the Flight into Egypt is a beloved episode in the Bible, and this painting is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to capture the imagination and convey the stories of our faith.
