EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Holy Family. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" a remarkable oil painting created by Giulio Cesare Procaccini between 1613 and 1615. Housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, this masterpiece measures 145x92.6 cm. Procaccini's work beautifully captures the essence of the biblical story it depicts. The image portrays the Holy Family - Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus - seeking refuge during their escape from persecution under King Herod's reign. Symbolism is abundant throughout the painting; notably, the cross-shaped pose of Christ Child stretches across the entire surface, representing his future crucifixion. Mary holds red anemones in her hand, which hold significance as they are said to have sprouted around the base of Christ's Cross on Good Friday evening according to apocryphal texts. This inclusion further emphasizes both Christ's impending sacrifice and Mary's role as a devoted mother. With its baroque style and mannerist influences evident through chiaroscuro techniques that play with light and shadow, Procaccini creates a visually striking composition that evokes deep religious sentiment. The painting not only serves as a testament to Christian faith but also stands as a powerful representation of devotion and familial love amidst adversity. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this timeless artwork through photography so that viewers can appreciate every intricate detail without commercial use restrictions.
