EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Aertsen's masterpiece, "A Butchers Stall with the Holy Family on the Flight into Egypt". Painted in 1551, this oil on panel artwork measures an impressive 116.8x167.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicts a bustling outdoor market setting, where a variety of food items are being set out for sale. The artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life during the mid-16th century in Holland. In the foreground, we see a close-up view of a butcher's stall, adorned with carcasses and farm animals. Amidst this lively atmosphere stands the Holy Family - Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus - who are depicted as they flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. They blend seamlessly into their surroundings as ordinary bystanders going about their journey. The composition offers a rich selection of objects that reflect both commerce and social activity at that time. From sausages to poultry and game, every detail adds depth to this vibrant depiction. Pieter Aertsen was known for his ability to capture everyday scenes with remarkable precision and attention to detail. This painting exemplifies his mastery of Northern Renaissance artistry. Through this photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate not only Aertsen's artistic brilliance but also gain insight into Dutch culture during the 16th century.
