The Rest on the Flight
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri). This 20x27 cm masterpiece, part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth, transports us to a rural setting during the Baroque era. In this study drawing, we witness Saint Joseph and the exhausted Virgin Mary seeking respite from their arduous journey into Egypt. Standing against a rustic wall, they find solace in each other's presence as they rest alongside their infant son, Jesus Christ. The weariness etched on their faces speaks volumes about the trials they have endured. The attention to detail in this sketch is remarkable. Guercino skillfully captures contemporary dress and seamlessly blends it with elements of biblical narrative. A mule stands nearby, its tired eyes reflecting the hardships faced by these holy figures. Horses graze peacefully in the background, adding an element of tranquility to this scene amidst nature's beauty. This artwork not only celebrates religious iconography but also highlights Guercino's ability to infuse life into his drawings. Every stroke reveals his mastery over pen and ink techniques enhanced by washes on paper. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly reproduced this timeless piece from "The Rest on the Flight" allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and emotional depth.
