EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Fall of the Idols and the Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a masterpiece created by Lagrenee around 1775. Housed in the esteemed Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, France, this neoclassical painting beautifully depicts an important biblical event. In this scene from the New Testament, we witness the Holy Family's journey as they flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. The central figures are Mary, Joseph, and their precious Christ Child. Lagrenee skillfully portrays their exhaustion during their arduous flight by showing them resting under a tree. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is its symbolic representation of idolatry. Surrounding the Holy Family are fallen idols that have been cast aside and destroyed. This powerful imagery conveys a message about faith triumphing over false gods and serves as a reminder of God's ultimate power. Lagrenee's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this oil on canvas painting. From delicate puttos hovering above to Saint Joseph standing guard with unwavering devotion, each element adds depth and meaning to the composition. "The Fall of the Idols and the Rest on the Flight into Egypt" captures both religious significance and artistic brilliance. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as faith, protection, and divine intervention while appreciating Lagrenee's mastery in portraying these profound moments from biblical history.
