EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 2nd century Romanesque fresco depicts the Flight into Egypt, an episode from the infancy narrative of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The painting was discovered in the Church of Navarra, now housed in the Diocesan Museum of Jaca in the Spanish region of Aragon. The late 12th century mural showcases the distinctive Romanesque artistic style prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. The scene illustrates the Holy Family's journey from Bethlehem to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all the male infants in an attempt to kill the newborn King of the Jews. Mary, holding baby Jesus on her back, rides a donkey while Joseph leads the way on foot. The figures are depicted with a sense of movement and energy, showcasing the dynamic and expressive qualities of Romanesque art. The intricate details of the painting, such as the textures of the robes and the naturalistic representation of the landscape, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the artist. This masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Spain during the Middle Ages and the enduring influence of Christianism on European art. The Diocesan Museum of Jaca in Aragon preserves and showcases this precious piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
