EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century French print, titled "Flight into Egypt" transports viewers back in time to witness a significant biblical event. Created on vellum, this exquisite piece of art is housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The scene depicted here captures the moment when Joseph, Mary, and their newborn baby Jesus flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate details bring this ancient tale to life. The artist skillfully portrays the tender love between Mary and her infant son as she cradles him protectively while riding on a donkey alongside Joseph. The print showcases elements commonly associated with medieval Christian iconography - the virgin birth, Madonna and child imagery, and religious symbolism. This historiated book of hours illuminates an important episode from the New Testament that holds great significance within Christianity. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this artwork invites us to reflect upon the timeless themes of faith, devotion, and divine protection. It serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of religion throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from centuries past, we are reminded of our shared human experience across time and cultures. It stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and spiritual contemplation – an invaluable treasure preserved for generations to come.
