EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Flight to Egypt" takes us back to the 16th century France, where an unknown artist skillfully crafted this woodcut masterpiece. Restrike in 1968, it has now found its place among the prestigious collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In this religious scene, we witness a momentous journey as Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus escape from danger by fleeing into Egypt. The Virgin Mary sits gracefully on a donkey's back while holding her precious infant close to her heart. With gentle gestures of protection and guidance, Joseph leads the way with unwavering determination. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this remarkable woodcut. The intricate patterns on their clothing showcase the craftsmanship of that era while adding depth and texture to the composition. This artwork beautifully captures not only a biblical event but also reflects upon themes such as motherhood, faith, and resilience. As we gaze at this print today, we are reminded of our rich cultural heritage and how art can transcend time and connect us with centuries past. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of artistic expression that continues to inspire generations across different religions and countries. "The Flight to Egypt" invites us into an intimate moment frozen in time—a visual narrative that speaks volumes about love, devotion, and hope amidst adversity.
