The Flight into Egypt: The Flight with the Madonna at Right Supported by Angels is a 1752 by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic scene with a woman riding sideways on a donkey. A winged figure leans in from the right, while another person clings to the donkey’s back. Trees and rocks fill the background, drawn with rough, fast lines. The artist packed movement into every part—even the donkey’s mane looks like it’s blowing in the wind. The whole scene feels urgent, like it’s happening fast. Want to see more like this? Check out Baroque art for dramatic, busy scenes like this one.
