The Flight into Egypt

About this work

The couple is dressed in robes, and the baby is being held by one of them. In the background, there are some hills and more trees, which are only partially visible due to the darkness. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet and intimacy, with the focus on the couple and their child. The artist's use of engraving and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting. To learn more about this style, explore the technique of engraving.
