EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" from Albrecht Dürer's renowned Life of the Virgin series, created in 1511. The woodcut depicts a serene moment within the holy family's journey, as they seek refuge during their flight to Egypt. In this scene, we see the Virgin Mary gracefully spinning yarn while St. Joseph attentively watches over her and their precious Christ child. The composition is set in a courtyard with a backdrop of ruined buildings, symbolizing the hardships faced by the Holy Family during their escape. Dürer's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of Mary, dressed in traditional garments and engrossed in her task. Meanwhile, Joseph stands beside her, embodying strength and protection. The baby Jesus lies swaddled nearby in a humble trough that serves as his makeshift crib—a poignant reminder of his humble beginnings. Through this artwork, Dürer captures both the vulnerability and resilience of this sacred family. This particular print beautifully conveys Dürer's mastery as an artist through its intricate lines and delicate shading techniques. It offers viewers an intimate glimpse into one episode from the life of Mary and Jesus—an image that has captivated audiences for centuries.
