EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Antoine Watteau's masterpiece, "La sainte famille, repose durant la fuite en Egypte" (The Holy Family, rest on the flight into Egypt). Painted in 1719 during the rococo period of French art, this oil on canvas piece measures 117 x 98 cm and is currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. Watteau beautifully captures a serene moment as the Holy Family seeks refuge during their escape to Egypt. The painting depicts Saint Joseph tenderly cradling baby Jesus while Mary rests beside them. A sense of freedom emanates from this scene, symbolized by a bird soaring above them - perhaps representing peace and divine protection. The vibrant colors used by Watteau bring life to this biblical narrative. The warm hues evoke a feeling of tranquility and spirituality. The delicate brushstrokes add depth and texture to each figure, emphasizing their ethereal presence. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless significance of faith and family. It serves as a visual representation of devotion and love amidst adversity. Watteau's skillful execution transports us back to the 18th century France when rococo art flourished with its ornate details and playful elegance. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also the profound spiritual message conveyed by "La sainte famille". It stands as a testament to both religious devotion and human resilience throughout history.
