Fleeing Holy Family King Herod

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from an altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin, titled "The Flight into Egypt". Created by the Catalan School in the 13th century, this tempera on panel artwork is housed in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. The image captures a significant moment from the biblical narrative of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt. In this scene, we witness Mary and Joseph fleeing with baby Jesus on a donkey's back. Their hurried departure is prompted by King Herod's cruel decree to kill all male infants in Bethlehem. The artist skillfully conveys their fear and urgency through expressive brushwork and intricate details. The medieval setting adds depth and historical context to this religious masterpiece. The altarpiece itself would have served as a focal point for devotion within a church or chapel during that era. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in both artistic excellence and spiritual significance. It reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for safety, protection, and hope amidst adversity—a timeless theme that resonates across cultures and generations. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of art captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com without commercial intent or mention thereof—we are reminded of its power to inspire contemplation, reflection, and appreciation for centuries-old masterpieces like these.
